Summary

Valley View School is a public school serving students in prekindergarten through grade 8 in Phoenix, Arizona, with 577 students in the Roosevelt Elementary District. The most important takeaway is that Valley View performs above its district in both English language arts (ELA) and math, but remains well below state proficiency levels, especially in ELA.

In 2025–26, 27% of Valley View students were proficient in ELA, compared with 21% in the district and 41% statewide; in math, the figures were 20%, 14% and 33%. Among nearby schools with reported results, Valley View ranked fourth of eight in ELA and third of eight in math, placing it around the middle and slightly above the nearby averages. Grade-level results show a mix of strengths and concerns: eighth-grade math was 34%, above the state’s 30% and the district’s 15%, while sixth-grade ELA was 19%—below the district’s 20% and the lowest among nearby schools with reported sixth-grade results. Eighth-grade ELA was a relative bright spot at 33%, 10 points above the district, though still below the state’s 39%.

Results over time are mixed: eighth-grade science rose from 19% in 2022–23 to 29% in 2024–25, just 1 point below the state, while fifth-grade science fell from 21% to 19% between 2022–23 and 2023–24. SchoolDigger ranked Valley View 779th of 900 schools in 2025–26, at the 13th percentile with 1 star; its percentile has fallen from 35 in 2022–23. For context, the school’s student–teacher ratio was 20.6, toward the higher end of nearby schools, and 88% of students qualified for free or reduced-price lunch in 2022–23. One notable SchoolDigger subgroup result: its measure of how well the school served African American students rose from the 8th percentile in 2020–21 to the 91st in 2022–23, while the overall school percentile rose from 18 to 35.

Valley View was a good school at the begining. When I found out more about the school thats when the issues started. Whenever there was issues nothing was done to help the students. Teachers seem care more about the extra activities and animales then the students needs. I would reccomend the school if some of the teachers where removed and more serious actions were carried out to misbehaved students. Close Quote
