Academic excellence, a positive learning environment, developing leaders, an engaging community and an inclusive culture. These are just a few of the values promoted at Valley View Middle School, one of two middle schools in the Edina Public School District. The school, along with the district, offers nationally recognized learning experiences and holistic child support.
In addition to a strong commitment to a quality curriculum, Valley View offers students opportunities to grow and learn in individualized ways. Student leadership opportunities, such as the Service Squad and Equity Team, prepare future leaders. Popular extracurricular activities include a spelling bee, chamber choir and math team.
Valley View Hornets practice teamwork and define excellence in events outside of the classroom. The Hornets have won nearly 200 state championship titles at the high school level, and talented Valley View students can try out for Varsity sports as well as middle school athletics.
Students preparing for college admission can take part in the Advancement Via Individual Determination (AVID) program. AVID assists students in challenging themselves through time management, research skills, writing and other academic areas. Virtual courses, multilingual support, special education and gifted student talent development are just a few examples of the dynamic resources that make Valley View Middle School a highly rated school in Minnesota.

The staff lowkey act like the only reason they signed up is to yell at children. The teachers don't care about your education. One of my teachers for real just stopped grading assignments for like 3 months.
