Summary

Silver Valley Elementary is a public elementary school located in Lexington, North Carolina, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 235 students. The school is part of the Davidson County Schools district, which is ranked 90 out of 242 school districts in the state.

Silver Valley Elementary has consistently underperformed compared to the district and state averages on the End-of-Grade (EOG) tests for Mathematics, Reading, and Science. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates were significantly lower than the district and state averages in 3rd grade Mathematics (60.5% vs. 69.7% and 64.1%), 4th grade Mathematics (50% vs. 59.9% and 58.9%), and 5th grade Reading (41.9% vs. 53.9% and 52.9%). The school's performance has been declining over the years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 856 out of 1,489 elementary schools in 2020-2021 to 1,011 out of 1,490 in 2024-2025, and its SchoolDigger star rating decreasing from 2 stars to 1 star during this period.

Despite the overall academic challenges, Silver Valley Elementary's Special Education students have performed relatively well, ranking 212 out of 801 North Carolina elementary schools in 2023-2024 and earning a 4 SchoolDigger star rating. The school's lower student-teacher ratio compared to nearby schools, such as Southwood Elementary, Fair Grove Elementary, Denton Elementary, and Davis-Townsend Elementary, which have consistently outperformed Silver Valley Elementary on the EOG tests, could be an asset in providing more individualized attention and support for students.
