Mound Valley Elementary

Summary:

Mound Valley Elementary consistently performs above the state average in English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics proficiency across all grades, with particularly strong performance in the lower grades. The school's 3rd and 4th-grade students outperform the state and county averages in both ELA and Mathematics, and the school is effectively supporting students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, who make up a high percentage of the student population. Mound Valley Elementary has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 10.4 to 15.2 over the past few years, and its spending per student of $11,378 in 2018-2019 is higher than the state average.

Compared to other schools in the Labette County district, Mound Valley Elementary generally performs on par or better in ELA and Mathematics proficiency, despite having a higher percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds. Nearby schools like Bartlett Elementary, Edna Elementary, and Meadowview Elementary also demonstrate strong performance, indicating the Labette County district is providing quality education across its schools. However, some schools outside the Labette County district, such as Oswego Neosho Heights Elementary and the Parsons-area schools, have lower overall performance, suggesting Mound Valley Elementary may be benefiting from the resources and support of its home district.

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.
