Central Valley Elementary School

Summary:

Central Valley Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades 2-5 in the Monroe-Woodbury Central School District in Central Valley, New York, with 448 students enrolled.

While the school has been rated 2 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger for the past several years, its performance and ranking have declined over the past decade, going from a high of 4 stars in 2015-2016. Central Valley Elementary's test scores are generally below the district and state averages across grade levels and subject areas, with only 42.22% of 3rd graders proficient in ELA compared to 41.49% for the district and 42.6% statewide. The school also struggles with significant achievement gaps between different student subgroups, with Asian and English Language Learner students performing in the bottom 10-15% of New York elementary schools. Despite spending more per student ($21,164) than the nearby Sapphire Elementary ($18,216) and Pine Tree Elementary ($20,464) schools, Central Valley Elementary's test scores and overall performance are generally lower.

The high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch at Central Valley Elementary, ranging from 39.41% to 43.3%, may be a contributing factor to the school's lower performance. The school may need to implement targeted interventions and support programs to address the needs of its economically disadvantaged student population and work to close the achievement gaps between different subgroups. With its declining performance over time and challenges in maintaining academic achievement, Central Valley Elementary may need to re-evaluate its strategies and allocate resources more effectively to improve student outcomes.

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.
