Valley View Elementary

Summary:

Valley View Elementary is a public elementary school in Toppenish, Washington, serving 455 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Toppenish School District, which is ranked 237 out of 247 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Valley View Elementary faces significant challenges in serving its predominantly Hispanic (86.81%) and economically disadvantaged (94.73% receive free or reduced-price lunch) student population. The school consistently ranks in the bottom 10% of elementary schools in Washington, with only 24.36% of students proficient in ELA and 16.31% proficient in Math. Its subgroups, such as Hispanic students and English Language Learners, also perform significantly worse than their peers statewide. Interestingly, the school has historically ranked among the top in the state for migrant student performance, suggesting it may be providing effective support for this population.

Comparing Valley View Elementary to nearby schools, the Toppenish School District schools, such as Garfield Elementary and Kirkwood Elementary, have similar demographic and academic profiles. However, schools in the neighboring Wapato and Granger school districts, while also serving predominantly Hispanic and economically disadvantaged students, generally perform better on state assessments, such as Satus Elementary in Wapato.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
