About

 

Founded in 1959, Valley View Elementary serves 665 students from Transitional Kindergarten through Sixth grade, offering both general and special education programs. Located in northern Los Angeles County, specifically in the southwest part of the Antelope Valley in the city of Lancaster, we are part of the Westside Union School District. The majority of our students live within walking distance, although we provide bus transportation for those residing more than a mile away. Our community is diverse, and addressing the varied needs of our families is a priority for us at Valley View. 

At Valley View Elementary, our mission is to provide research-based instruction in a positive and supportive learning environment. Through equitable and rigorous opportunities, everyone will meet grade level standards and reach their individual goals. We are dedicated to fostering a diverse community that celebrates differences and promotes inclusivity while preparing our students to become confident and responsible community members. 

Our vision is to ensure that all students will achieve high levels of academic excellence by mastering state standards, be college and career ready, and make a positive impact on their communities. 

Our school community embraces a collaborative approach with school staff, students, parents and community at large. Data will provide the path to the appropriate interventions and enrichment. Valley View staff will point the way for students to risk, grow, and achieve.

Valley View is proud to be the home of the Vikings, where we nurture students to be BRAVE: embodying Bravery, Respect, Achievement, Vision, and Empathy.

WASC accredited and was awarded the California Distinguished School Award in 2010.
