Summary

Valley View Intrmd School is a public elementary school serving grades 3-5 in the Valley View School District in Archbald, PA. With 539 students, the school is ranked 975 out of 1,511 Pennsylvania elementary schools and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The school faces several challenges, including lower-than-average test scores, with proficiency rates in Math (37.5%) and English Language Arts (43.3%) below the state averages of 41.7% and 48.5%, respectively. Student performance also varies significantly across different subgroups, with Hispanic students performing better than White students and students with disabilities or from low socioeconomic backgrounds performing worse than the overall student population. However, the school's science proficiency rates are relatively strong, with 77% of students scoring proficient or better in 2023-2024, compared to the state average of 65.8%.

Compared to nearby schools, such as Dunmore Elementary Center and South Abington School, Valley View Intrmd School's performance is generally lower, with higher test scores, lower free/reduced lunch rates, and better overall rankings. The school's student-teacher ratio, which has fluctuated between 13.6 and 14.7 over the past few years, is slightly lower than the state average, which may contribute to its ability to provide more individualized attention to students. However, the school's statewide ranking and SchoolDigger rating have declined over the past several years, suggesting the need for continued investment and improvement efforts.
