Valley View Schools Celebrates 4-Star Rating on 2025–2026 State Report Card

Valley View Schools has earned an overall 4-star rating on the Ohio Department of Education's 2025–2026 School Report Card, exceeding the state's 3-star "Meets Expectations" threshold for the second consecutive year. The rating reflects continued strength in the areas of Achievement (4); Progress (4); Gap Closing (4); College, Career, Workforce and Military Readiness (4);  and Graduation Rate (5).  We have made a commitment to focus on raising our “off target” to “on target” readers at the elementary level due to our early literacy component drop (2).  

"A 4-star rating tells our community that Valley View students are performing above the state's standard for meeting expectations," said Superintendent Andrea Cook. "We're proud of that achievement, and we're equally honest about where we still have work to do. Our middle school did not perform at the level we expect, and we have already put a plan in place to change that.  This plan will be refined throughout the school year."

Building on Last Year's Momentum

The 2025–2026 results highlight double-digit proficiency gains in Algebra I (+16), Grade 6 Mathematics (+15), Biology (+14), and English Language Arts II (+12), along with sustained multi-year growth for the Class of 2029 cohort in ELA, Grade 6 ELA linear growth of +10 in three years, and American History with linear growth over three years. That trajectory of improvement — fueled by targeted secondary math interventions and instructional coaching — helped carry high school performance to new heights this year.

Building-Level Results

Valley View High School — 4.5 Stars. The high school posted the district's strongest performance. The 4.5-star rating reflects sustained investment in secondary math intervention and instructional coaching, and positions the high school as the district's top-performing building with a focus on 5 stars in the Progress component.

Valley View Elementary School — 4 Stars. The elementary school maintained a solid 4-star rating, reflecting consistent, steady instruction in the foundational grades.  We will be placing a microscope on early literacy and work with a team to improve this vital area of instruction.  We are thrilled to report that this building earned 5 stars in the Gap Closing component. 

Valley View Middle School — 2.5 Stars. The middle school's rating declined from 3 to 2.5 stars, and district leadership is treating this as the year's top priority. "We don't want to bury this news — we want to own it," said Superintendent Cook. "Our middle school students and staff deserve a level of targeted support that will result in higher achievement through high expectations daily.  This support will focus in the areas of Progress and Gap Closing. That work started on day one based on our preliminary results." The district will extend the intervention and coaching model to drive this endeavor throughout the coming year.

Looking Ahead

Superintendent Cook extends her thanks to Valley View's teachers and support staff for their daily dedication to students. Grounded in the district's core mission — High Attendance, High Expectations, High Achievement — Valley View enters the new school year committed to sustaining the momentum at the High School and elementary levels while directing focused resources and support toward accelerating growth at the Middle School.
