Valor South Austin

Summary:

Valor South Austin is a public charter school in Austin, Texas that serves 753 students from kindergarten through 12th grade. The school is part of the Valor Public Schools district, which is ranked 274 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 4-star rating.

Valor South Austin consistently outperforms the Valor Public Schools district and the state of Texas in STAAR test proficiency rates across various grade levels and subjects. For example, the school has significantly higher proficiency rates in 3rd grade reading (65.38% vs. 48.11% for the district and 48.85% for Texas) and mathematics (51.28% vs. 47.32% for the district and 40.86% for Texas). Valor South Austin also excels in end-of-course (EOC) exams, with higher proficiency rates than the district and state in subjects like Biology (78.95% vs. 71.34% for the district and 57.31% for Texas) and English I Reading (83.33% vs. 81.33% for the district and 53.77% for Texas). Additionally, the school has consistently low dropout rates, ranging from 0.0% to 1.6% over the past four school years, which is significantly lower than the state average.

Compared to nearby schools, Chaparral Star Academy consistently outperforms Valor South Austin and the state in academic proficiency across multiple grade levels and subjects, particularly in reading and mathematics. However, schools like Jubilee Wells Branch, Texas Empowerment Academy, and Alter Impact Center struggle to match the academic performance of Valor South Austin. The relatively low free and reduced-price lunch rates at Valor South Austin suggest that the school serves a more affluent student population compared to some of the nearby schools, which may contribute to its strong academic performance.

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.
