Summary

Jones Valley Elementary School in Huntsville, AL, is a PK-6 school serving 471 students in the Huntsville City district, and it stands out as a consistently high-performing school with a 4-star rating for nine straight years.

Jones Valley ranks 118th out of 686 elementary schools statewide (83rd percentile), placing it well above the district and state averages in nearly every subject. For example, 5th-grade English proficiency is 86%, compared to the district's 66%, and 4th-grade math proficiency is 68% versus the district's 39%. The school also boasts an exceptionally low chronic absenteeism rate of just 2.2%, far below the district's 8.2% and the state's 12%, which signals strong family engagement and student attendance. One of its standout features is its special education program, which ranks in the 92nd percentile statewide—a 5-star rating that indicates excellent support for students with IEPs. When compared to nearby schools, Jones Valley outperforms Whitesburg Elementary (ranked 478th) and Blossomwood Elementary (ranked 387th), and it edges out Weatherly Heights Elementary (ranked 155th), which has a similar student population and free/reduced lunch rate. However, Monte Sano Elementary (ranked 20th) remains the top performer in the area, with even higher test scores and a lower poverty rate.

While Jones Valley is an excellent school overall, there are some internal challenges worth noting. The achievement gap for students from low-income backgrounds is significant—this subgroup ranks in the 44th percentile, a 2-star rating—and performance for African American students has declined over the past three years. Additionally, 6th-grade math proficiency drops to 41%, suggesting the transition to middle school-level work can be tough for some students. Still, with strong financial efficiency (spending slightly below the state average) and a track record of stability, Jones Valley is a top-tier choice within the district for most families.

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
