Summary

Valley View Elementary School is a K–4 school serving 319 students on Orchard Street in Wadsworth, Ohio, part of Wadsworth City schools, a district ranked in the 84th percentile statewide. Valley View itself ranks 433rd of 1,560 Ohio elementary schools in 2025–2026 — the 72nd percentile, 4 stars. That's a solid standing, though the school has drifted from the 80th percentile in 2023–2024 to 76th and then 72nd, still within its historical range.

Test scores are a mixed story. Valley View's proficiency rates beat Ohio averages in all four tested areas by roughly 8–19 points, but they fall just below the Wadsworth City average in every case — the reverse of 2023–2024, when the school topped the district across the board. Grade 4 reading (71.2%) and math (75.3%) are the weakest spots, down from 84.7% and 81.1% two years earlier. Among Wadsworth's five elementaries, Valley View sits mid-pack: behind Overlook Elementary School (91st percentile, 5 stars) and Isham Memorial Elementary School, mixed against Franklin Elementary School, and ahead of Lincoln Elementary School in most subjects.

Where Valley View clearly shines is attendance. Its chronic absenteeism rate is 7.8%, tied with Franklin for lowest in the district and less than half the district's 16.1% — and far better than Barberton Primary School's 28.8%. It also has the district's smallest student–teacher ratio at 13.8. About 34% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, a moderate level, and low-income students rank at the 76th percentile, slightly above the school overall. Nearby, Norton Elementary School posts similar attendance and class sizes but stronger grade 4 results, while Sharon Elementary School is a far more affluent, top-5% benchmark. For parents, this is a well-regarded neighborhood school with strong attendance habits; closing the grade 4 gap is the clearest path to a higher rank.
