Southeast Valley Elementary
Summary:

The zip code 50538 is home to a single elementary school, Southeast Valley Elementary, which serves grades PK-4 and is part of the Southeast Valley Community School District. While the school has some academic strengths, particularly in Mathematics, it also faces challenges in areas like 4th-grade English Language Arts (ELA) performance and high chronic absenteeism rates.

Southeast Valley Elementary outperformed both its district and the state average in Mathematics for both 3rd and 4th grades, indicating effective teaching methods or curriculum in this subject area. However, the school's 4th-grade ELA proficiency rates fell behind the district and state averages, suggesting a need to review and strengthen the ELA curriculum and teaching strategies for the upper elementary grades.

With a free and reduced-price lunch rate of 44.54%, Southeast Valley Elementary serves a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, which may present unique challenges and require targeted support and resources. Additionally, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 21.6% is relatively high, which can negatively impact student learning and academic achievement. Addressing the factors contributing to high absenteeism could be an area of focus for the school and district.
