Valleyview Elementary School

Summary:

Valleyview Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades K-5 in the Oneonta City School District in Oneonta, New York. With 263 students, the school has been ranked between 743 and 1740 out of over 2,300 New York elementary schools in recent years, with a current ranking of 1500 and a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Valleyview Elementary School's academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates on New York state assessments, is generally below the state and district averages across grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, Valleyview's 3rd grade ELA proficiency rate was 41.67%, compared to the district's 36.44% and the state's 42.6%. Similarly, its 5th grade math proficiency rate was 37.14%, compared to the district's 41.12% and the state's 48.93%. Compared to the nearby Greater Plains Elementary School and Riverside Elementary School, also in the Oneonta City School District, Valleyview generally performs worse on state assessments, with lower proficiency rates across most grade levels and subjects.

Valleyview's performance on state assessments has been inconsistent, with its ranking and star rating fluctuating between 1 and 3 stars over the past decade. The school also faces significant socioeconomic challenges, with a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, and poor performance among low socioeconomic status students. Additionally, there are wide performance gaps between different student subgroups, such as gender and special education status, suggesting that Valleyview may need to focus on addressing equity and inclusion issues to ensure all students are receiving the support they need to succeed.

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.
