Summary

Green Valley Elementary is a public elementary school located in Boone, North Carolina, serving grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of 268 students. It is part of the Watauga County Schools district, which is ranked 39 out of 242 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Green Valley Elementary's performance on state standardized tests is generally lower than the Watauga County Schools district average and the North Carolina state average across various grade levels and subject areas, the school's student-teacher ratio is relatively low, ranging from 8.3 to 10 over the past few years. Additionally, the school's performance for Disabled Students has been relatively strong compared to the state average, with the school ranking in the top 50% of North Carolina elementary schools for this subgroup in recent years. However, the school's lower performance for specific student subgroups, such as Female Students, Male Students, White Students, and Low Socio-Economic Status Students, suggests that targeted interventions and support may be needed to address these achievement gaps.

Interestingly, some of the nearby schools within the same district, such as Blowing Rock Elementary and Parkway Elementary, have significantly higher student performance on state tests and lower percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting that socioeconomic factors may play a role in the differences in academic achievement. Overall, Green Valley Elementary faces some challenges in terms of student academic performance, but the school's strengths, such as its low student-teacher ratio and strong performance for Disabled Students, could be leveraged to improve overall student outcomes.
