Summary

English Valleys Elementary School is a public elementary school located in North English, Iowa, serving 205 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the English Valleys Community School District, which is ranked 191 out of 313 districts in the state.

Academically, English Valleys Elementary has shown mixed performance, with its statewide ranking ranging from 196 to 386 out of 567-603 Iowa elementary schools. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics were generally on par with or slightly above the state averages, with 3rd-5th grade students performing better than the state. Compared to nearby schools like Mid-Prairie East Elementary and H-L-V Elementary, English Valleys' performance is in the middle range.

However, the school faces some challenges, including a concerning trend of increasing chronic absenteeism, rising from 14.7% in 2020-2021 to 21.6% in 2023-2024. This rate is higher than nearby schools. Additionally, English Valleys has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 37.72% to 44.55% over the past few years, which is higher than some nearby schools. The school's higher per-student spending of $16,040 in 2018-2019 may indicate a focus on supporting student needs, but it will be important to ensure these resources are effectively translating into improved academic outcomes.
