Summary

Valley View Elementary School serves 323 students in grades pre-K through 5 in Cleveland, TN, and is part of Bradley County Schools, a district that ranks slightly above the statewide median. The school's latest state ranking places it at the 41st percentile with a 2-star rating — lower-middle range among Tennessee elementary schools. Within the district, it sits below nearby standouts like Michigan Avenue Elementary School and Park View Elementary School, but above Oak Grove Elementary School and Taylor Elementary School.

Academically, Valley View is roughly average in math (43.9% proficient, essentially matching the state average) and slightly above average in English language arts (41.3% vs. 40.6% statewide). The school's biggest weakness is science: only 36.1% of students are proficient, about 10 points behind both the district and state averages. Grade-level data reveals a striking pattern — 4th grade math is a standout at 61.5% proficient, well above the state's 49.4% and higher than most nearby schools, while 3rd grade math lags far behind at 28.3%. Math proficiency has climbed steadily over four years, from 31.4% to 43.9%, so the school is clearly heading in the right direction in that subject.

Attendance is a genuine strength, with a chronic absenteeism rate of just 10.8% — well below the district rate of 14.9% and the state rate of 18.3%. This means Valley View's academic challenges cannot be blamed on students missing school. The school shows uneven results across student groups: students from low-income families improved dramatically in the latest year, while female students have consistently ranked lower than male students in statewide subgroup comparisons. After a multi-year decline from a 4-star rating in 2016-2017, Valley View has stabilized and shown a modest upward trend over the past two years, but it still has meaningful ground to cover to reach the level of the strongest nearby schools like Michigan Avenue and Park View.
