Summary:
Midvale, Ohio is served by a single public school — Midvale Elementary School, a K–5 building at 4259 W. State Street with 390 students — which operates within the Indian Valley Local district, so families here attend one elementary school before moving on to the district's middle and high schools.
Midvale Elementary is a solidly above-average Ohio school. It ranks 535th of 1,560 Ohio elementary schools — the top third of the state — with 3 stars, and it scored higher than the state on 13 of its 14 reported test results in 2025–2026. Math is its strongest subject: about 76% of students were proficient across grades 3–5, well above Ohio's roughly 63%, and fourth-grade math (85.9% proficient) was the school's best single result. Science was also strong at 73% in 2025–26 after a 89.7% showing the year before. Chronic absenteeism, at 11.6%, is lower than the district's 13.3%. Class sizes run about 19.5 students per teacher with roughly 20 teachers for 390 students; per-student spending is reported at $9,471, though that figure dates to 2018–2019 and may not reflect current resources. Free- and reduced-price lunch information is not reported, so the school's economic profile is unknown.
The main thing to watch is fourth-grade English language arts. At 59.2% proficient, it is the only result below the state average and the school's lowest score in both years of data, trailing the district by more than 11 points each time — a gap that has now repeated two years running. Overall scores dipped modestly from a 2024–25 peak (the school's rank went from 441st to 535th), and the school generally trails its own district, which ranks 183rd of 773 statewide. In short: a good school in a stronger district, with clear strengths in math and attendance and a specific, consistent need in fourth-grade reading and writing.
