Summary

Midvale Elementary School in Midvale, OH is a K–5 school serving about 390 students, and it is the only elementary building in the Indian Valley Local district — unlike nearby communities, which split the same grades across two or three separate schools. The district is solidly above average, ranking 183rd of 773 Ohio districts (76th percentile). Midvale Elementary School ranked 535th of 1,560 elementary schools in 2025–26 (66th percentile, 3 stars), a step back from 4 stars and the 72nd percentile the year before. The longer trend, though, is clearly upward: the school sat at the 35th percentile in 2015–16 and has stayed in the 59th–72nd percentile range for six years.

In 2025–26, Midvale scored above the Ohio average in six of seven tested measures — by margins of roughly 6 to 19 points — but below its own district in all seven, so it reads as a strong school inside a stronger district. Fourth-grade math is the signature strength: 81–91% proficiency across three years against a state rate near 67–69% (85.9 vs. 67.3 this year). Results for higher-need students are a quiet asset — low-income students ranked between the 71st and 92nd percentile, including a 5-star year, and special-education effectiveness climbed from the 61st to the 75th percentile. Chronic absenteeism dropped from 21.7% (2021–22) to 11.6% (2025–26), now better than the district's 13.3%.

The concern is fourth-grade reading, which has fallen three years in a row (78.1 → 63.8 → 59.2) and now sits below the state average of 61.8 and 12.1 points below the district. Among nearby schools with current, comparable data, Dover Avenue Elementary School (73rd percentile, 4 stars) leads Midvale in fourth- and fifth-grade reading, fifth-grade math and science, and attendance, while Midvale wins fourth-grade math (85.9 vs. 79.4). Against Claymont Intermediate School (31st percentile, 2 stars), Midvale is ahead in all seven measures.
