Valle Lindo Elementary

Summary:

Valle Lindo Elementary is a public elementary school in Chula Vista, California, serving 396 students in grades K-6. The school faces several challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates, lower test scores compared to the district and state averages, and performance gaps among different student groups.

Valle Lindo Elementary's chronic absenteeism rates have significantly increased, rising from 4.7% in 2017-2018 to 30.6% in 2021-2022, which is notably higher than the Chula Vista Elementary District and California state averages. The school's test scores, as measured by the Smarter Balanced Assessments, are generally lower than the district and state averages across various grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, only 41.2% of Valle Lindo students were proficient or better in English Language Arts/Literacy, compared to 55.46% in the Chula Vista Elementary District and 47.04% statewide. In Mathematics, the proficiency rate at Valle Lindo was 23.95%, compared to 44.72% in the district and 35.54% statewide.

When compared to other nearby elementary schools within the Chula Vista Elementary District, such as Parkview Elementary and Hedenkamp Elementary, Valle Lindo generally performs below the district averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics. This may be partly due to the school's relatively high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 55.3% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in 2022-2023.

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.
