Valley View Local School

What Valley View Local School does

Valley View Local School District is a public K-12 school system headquartered in Germantown, Ohio, serving approximately 1,800 students across a 68-square-mile area in the southwest corner of Montgomery County, including portions of Germantown, German Township, Jackson Township, and Farmersville. The district operates four instructional programs — Valley View Preschool, Valley View Elementary (K-5), Valley View Middle School (grades 6-8), and Valley View High School (grades 9-12) — all consolidated onto a single state-of-the-art K-12 campus at 6057 Farmersville Pike as of December 2024, with the former high school repurposed as the Administration Building and Auxiliary Gym. Its governance rests on a five-member elected Board of Education under Ohio law, with Andrea Cook appointed Superintendent in September 2024 and Dr. Stephanie Smith elected Board President in November 2026.

The district's core delivery is in-person public education, anchored by the Portrait of a Graduate framework (Adaptability, Collaboration, Communication, Empathy, Critical Thinking) and a four-pillar Strategic Plan. Around this core, Valley View operates a 14-sport (32-team) Spartan Athletics program (member of OHSAA and the Southwestern Buckeye League) with Kettering Health as sports medicine partner, a USDA-compliant Food Service program via LINQ Connect with Free & Reduced Meal support, a Military Family Support program (all three school buildings designated Purple Star Schools), and Student Health Services across all buildings. Supporting platforms include Finalsite for the website, FinalForms for online registration and athletic forms, ProgressBook (hosted by MVECA) for the student information system, ParentSquare for district-wide mass communications, Frontline Education for absence/substitute management, BoardDocs for board policy hosting, Parchment for transcripts, HomeTown Ticketing for athletic events, HudlTV for livestreaming, and Snap Mobile and DragonFly Athletics for athletic information.

Valley View's revenue model is dominated by Ohio public-school funding mechanisms — a combination of state aid and local property tax levies, most notably the 2020 voter-approved levy that financed the new campus — supplemented by ancillary streams: tiered athletic passes and gate tickets (Family All-Sport Pass $253, Adult $153, Student $53; varsity single-event $7–$8), food service meal sales (breakfast $1.90, lunch $2.60–$3.40), facility rentals ($30–$750/day depending on space and user type), and tax-deductible donations through the Valley View Educational Foundation managed in partnership with the Dayton Foundation (501(c)(3)), including a Building Enrichment Campaign with naming opportunities from $1,000 to $50,000. The independent Valley View Athletic Boosters contribute an additional ~$105,000 annually for Spartan athletics but are not affiliated with the district.
