Summary

Valley View School is a 260-student PK–4 elementary school in Califon, served by the Lebanon Township School District. In 2025–26, students scored above state averages in both tested grades and subjects, but results varied considerably by grade. The clearest standout is fourth-grade math: 68% of students were proficient, the highest result among nearby schools with reported scores.

The school’s strongest comparisons are in fourth grade: math proficiency was 21 percentage points above the state average and 16 points above the nearby-school average; fourth-grade ELA was 14 points above the state and 9 points above nearby schools. Third-grade results were less distinctive: ELA was 3 points above the state but 9 points below nearby schools, while math was 2 points above the state and 8 points below nearby schools. Valley View’s results matched the reported district figures in every tested grade and subject. SchoolDigger rates the school at 3 stars and the 65th percentile statewide; five nearby schools rank higher, at the 68th–81st percentiles.

Results have improved since 2022–23, but have swung from year to year: the two-grade average rose by 9 points in ELA and 11 points in math by 2025–26, while the state averages rose by less. The latest school averages were down from the previous year in ELA and nearly flat in math. Context includes a 9.0 student–teacher ratio in 2024–25, about the same as the nearby average, and 18% free/reduced lunch eligible that year, close to the nearby average of 20%. Chronic absenteeism was 8% in 2024–25, below the state’s 14%. One SchoolDigger subgroup result stands out: its measure of how well the school serves low-socioeconomic-status students places it at the 5th percentile, compared with the school’s 65th-percentile overall standing.
