In contrast, Valley View Elementary is the district's only 4-star school, with 5th-grade Math (40%) and Science (34%) proficiency significantly below district averages, despite having the lowest student-teacher ratio (9.7:1) and high per-student spending ($13,346).
Key metrics reveal a district with small class sizes (average 11.4:1 student-teacher ratio) and spending of $11,707 per student. A striking "Algebra I anomaly" shows middle school students achieving near-perfect scores (e.g., 99.12% at Hill Country Middle), while high school Algebra I proficiency drops to 45.82%, indicating advanced students take the course early. Science is a relative weakness, with a district-wide 5th-grade Science average of 56.04%, though this doubles the state average. The Adult Transition Services program, serving 22 students with a 4.4:1 ratio and $23,292 per student, focuses on life skills rather than traditional academics, explaining its 0% graduation rate.
