Summary

Jones Valley Elementary School is a public elementary school in Huntsville, Alabama, serving 453 students in grades PK-6. The school is part of the Huntsville City School District, which is ranked 79 out of 135 districts in the state.

Jones Valley Elementary consistently ranks among the top 25% of Alabama elementary schools, with a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's proficiency rates in Mathematics and English Language Arts are significantly higher than the Huntsville City and Alabama state averages across all grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, 84.85% of 4th-grade students at Jones Valley were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 54.8% in Huntsville City and 60.93% statewide. Jones Valley also excels in supporting the academic achievement of various student subgroups, including female students, African American students, and students with special needs.

While Jones Valley Elementary outperforms many nearby schools, such as Morris Elementary, McDonnell Elementary, and Sonnie Hereford Elementary, the school's recent increase in chronic absenteeism is a concern that should be addressed. Additionally, the academic performance of low-socioeconomic status students at Jones Valley, while still strong, is an area that could be improved to ensure more equitable outcomes for all students.

I love this school for my son. I have nothing but nice things to say about this school and all it's staff members. My son has never been happier here and his grades are the highest they have been in awhile and he is an A and B student. I wish my daughter could have went to school here when she was a child. Two thumbs up. Great job Jones Valley Elementary. Keep up the great work!! Close Quote
