Valley Local

The Valley Local school district in Ohio consists of three schools: Valley Elementary School, Valley Middle School, and Valley High School. The district serves a predominantly white student population, with high rates of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

Valley Elementary School stands out as the top performer in the district, ranking 220 out of 1,596 Ohio elementary schools and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's test scores are significantly above the state averages, with over 80% of students proficient or better in both math and English Language Arts. In contrast, the middle and high schools have more mixed academic performance, with some grades performing better than others.

Across the district, chronic absenteeism rates are relatively high, ranging from 25.9% at the elementary school to 31.9% at the high school. The district may want to investigate this issue further and develop strategies to improve attendance. Additionally, the district's funding allocation may need to be re-evaluated, as the high school spends more per student than the middle school. Overall, the Valley Local district has room for improvement, but Valley Elementary School stands out as a strong performer in the area.
