Summary:
Valley View Local in Ohio has one middle school — Valley View Middle School in Germantown, which serves grades 6–8 to 385 students — so families in this area have a single middle-school option to consider. The school belongs to Valley View Local, which ranks 265 of 773 districts statewide (66th percentile) with a 3-star rating. Valley View Middle School itself ranked 521 of 1,046 middle schools statewide in 2025–2026 — the 50th percentile, also 3 stars — down from the 59th percentile in 2024–2025 and the 58th in 2023–2024.
Results are uneven by subject. Algebra I is the standout: 85.2% proficient in 2025–2026 versus 61.6% statewide, and 100% in 2024–2025 versus 59.4% statewide, though Algebra I is usually taken by a subset of students. 8th-grade Science was also above state both years (65.8% versus 61.2%, and 70.8% versus 63.0%). 6th-grade Math climbed from 47.6% to 61.7%, above the state's 56.2%, and 6th-grade ELA rose from 55.0% to 61.3%, above the state's 56.0%. The clearest concern is 8th-grade Math, at 25.5% versus the state's 52.0% — a 26.5-point gap and a 23.0-point drop in one year. 8th-grade ELA fell to 52.9%, below the state's 58.3%, after being 11.0 points above state the prior year. 7th-grade results were closer to state in both Math and ELA.
Overall, six of the eight listed assessments declined year over year, and the school's average advantage over the state narrowed sharply: roughly 58.2% versus 57.1% in 2025–2026, compared with 63.5% versus 55.5% the year before. Chronic absenteeism is 14.8% at the school versus 14.4% in the district — about 1 in 7 students. The student-teacher ratio is high at 24:1, 26.49% of students qualified for free/reduced lunch in 2024–2025, and the per-student spending figure of $8,273 dates to 2018–2019 and is too old to judge current funding. For parents, the priority to watch is the 8th-grade decline, while the Algebra I and Science strengths are worth protecting.
