Summary

Valleyview Elementary School is a K–5 school with 298 students in Columbus, OH (2989 Valleyview Dr, 43204), part of the Columbus City Schools District, which itself ranks 683 of 773 Ohio districts. Valleyview's results are among the lowest in Ohio: in 2025–2026 it ranked 1463 of 1560 schools statewide (6th percentile, 0 stars), after 1482 of 1558 (5th percentile, 0 stars) the prior year. Percentile ranks have mostly sat between 8 and 24 since 2015–2016, with the last two reported years at the low end of that range.

Test proficiency is low in most subjects and grades. In 2025–2026, Grade 3 English Language Arts was the single bright spot: 38.7% proficient, slightly above the district's 37.4% but far below the state's 63.4%. Other results fell below the district, often by wide margins — Grade 3 math 16.7% vs. 35.0%, Grade 4 ELA 18.6% vs. 41.3%, Grade 5 math 14.3% vs. 28.4%, and Grade 5 science 23.8% vs. 35.8%. Earlier above-district results in Grade 4 math and ELA did not hold. Nearby, Valleyview beats Highland Elementary School, Burroughs Elementary School and generally Eakin Elementary School, Sullivant Avenue Community School and Columbus Bilingual West, but trails Westgate Alternative Elementary School (28th percentile), Great Western Academy, West Broad Elementary School and Educational Academy for Boys & Girls.

Chronic absenteeism is a major concern at 52.9% in 2025–2026 — slightly better than the district's 53.8%, but still more than half of students. It is lower than at Highland (70.7%), Columbus Bilingual West (66.6%) and Sullivant Avenue (61.5%), similar to West Broad (53.9%) and Eakin (50.9%), and higher than at Westgate (45.7%), Great Western (35.5%) and Educational Academy (20.6%). Subgroup effectiveness is low across the board, with no group above the 17th percentile in recent years and most in the bottom 10%, pointing to broad school-wide challenges. The student–teacher ratio was 18.6 in 2024–2025 (up from 16.9 and 16.8), and per-student spending was $10,970 in 2018–2019.

The K teacher provided information to us about the curriculum for year. This information provided us that ability to focus our child's learning outside of the classroom.

With this working relationship between us and the kindergarten teacher, our child received Honors by school end.

I'm am looking forward to working with the 1st grade teacher in continuing our child's ability to learn and grow!

A proud Valleyview Parent. Close Quote
