Surprised to see the low overall rating here, I bring my three kids here through the school choice program and I find Midvale to be a great school. One of my older children is in the gifted program and is challenged at just the right level, my other two are also doing well while getting to explore a diverse range of subjects and meet a diverse range of friends. The school is well organized and the teachers/staff are caring and professional. Close Quote

Midvale Elementary School was a fantastic learning environment for my son. He came from a private school and he loved Midvale from the moment he arrived. His teachers were beyond amazing, the diversity of the school is phenomenal, and he wishes he could stay there for 6th grade as well. No school is perfect, so if you're looking for perfection this is not it. I will say that I have been more than pleased with the education he received while he was there. Yes, he excelled on the CRCT and his grades were great as well. Take all of this statistical information with a grain of salt because even a school with a ranking of 10 may not be a good fit for your child. Always visit and stay involved! Close Quote
