Summary

Valley View Elementary School is a PK–8 school at 17200 Valleyview Ave on Cleveland's west side, serving 157 students as part of the Cleveland Municipal School District. It is the smallest school in this comparison group apart from Constellation Schools: Puritas Community Elementary (119 students), and in 2025-2026 it ranked 1,407th of 1,560 Ohio schools — the 10th percentile, with 0 stars, the weakest result in its ten-year record.

That ranking reflects a recent, steep slide rather than a long-standing pattern. Valley View spent most of the past decade between the 23rd and 43rd percentiles, but has lost 24 percentile points in three years. Chronic absenteeism, at 58.3%, is now the highest in the comparison set and worse than the district average — a reversal, since the school was consistently better than its district on attendance through 2024-2025. Test results are below state averages in nearly every subject and grade, with the widest gaps in grades 3 through 7. The standout exception is 8th grade math, where 57.1% of students were proficient, beating both the district (29.1%) and the state (52.0%).

The most telling comparison is close to home: Douglas MacArthur (0.97 miles away) and Robinson G Jones Elementary School (1.12 miles) are both Cleveland Municipal PK–8 schools drawing from nearby neighborhoods, and both rank in the 58th–59th percentile with 3 stars. Valley View does this while spending the most per pupil ($17,234, though that figure is from 2018-2019) and teaching the second-smallest classes (13.0 students per teacher). Because enrollment is small, individual grade results can shift on just a few students, so read year-to-year changes as directional. The clearest lever in the data is attendance.
