Summary:

ZIP code 03835 has one elementary school, Valley View Community School, serving Pre-K through Grade 3 in Farmington, with 245 students and a notably low 8.7-to-1 student-teacher ratio. For parents, the school offers a small early-elementary setting with potentially good opportunities for individualized attention. About 40.82% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating that many families may benefit from additional academic and community support. The school is part of the Farmington School District, which is ranked 142nd of 166 New Hampshire districts and receives a one-star rating.

Valley View’s strongest recent result is mathematics. In 2025–2026, 42% of students were proficient in all-grade mathematics, compared with 31% in the district and 44% statewide. The school therefore performed 11 percentage points above its district average and nearly matched the state. Reading performance was more mixed: 42% of students were proficient, just above the district’s 41% but 13 points below the state’s 55%. Third-grade results were also 42% in both mathematics and reading, matching district performance but trailing the state by 12 and 9 points, respectively. These results suggest that mathematics is a relative strength locally, while reading remains the larger area for improvement.

Compared with the prior year, mathematics proficiency declined from 47% to 42%, while reading improved from 39% to 42%. Even with the mathematics decline, Valley View continued to outperform the district, and its reading result improved while the district’s reading rate fell from 49% to 41%. Parents should view these percentages as useful indicators rather than complete measures of school quality, since results can vary by student cohort, participation, and testing conditions. The low student-teacher ratio may support small-group instruction and targeted literacy intervention, but families may also want to ask about attendance, special education, English learner services, teacher experience, and supports for economically disadvantaged students.
