Valley View School consistently outperforms the state average in both English Language Arts and Mathematics across grades 3 and 4, with 77.1% of 4th graders proficient or better in ELA compared to the state average of 53.6%, and 75% proficient or better in Math compared to the state average of 46.7%. The school also ranks 177 out of 1,023 New Jersey elementary schools for its special education students, earning a 4-star rating, which is a significant strength compared to its overall ranking of 435 out of 1,347. While Valley View School has seen an increase in chronic absenteeism, reaching 16.6% in 2022-2023, it is still lower than the state average of around 18-20% in recent years. Additionally, the school maintains a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 8.6 to 9.2 over the past few years, which is lower than the state average of around 12-13 students per teacher.

When compared to the nearby Old Farmers Road School and Tewksbury Elementary School, Valley View School generally performs on par or better in terms of test scores and school rankings. The school's performance for female and male students is relatively consistent, but its ranking for white students has fluctuated, dropping to the bottom quartile in 2022-2023 before rebounding in the following years. Valley View School's spending per student of $11,199 in 2018-2019 is slightly higher than the state average, which may contribute to its strong academic performance and low student-teacher ratio.
