Valley View Middle School is a four-year (grades 6th-9th), public middle school located in Edina, Minnesota, USA, a first ring suburb of Minneapolis. The school has a current enrollment of about 1,200 students. It and its sister school, South View Middle School, each take students from three of the six elementary schools in the Edina Public School District, or ISD273. The school colors are green and white and the school's athletic teams are known as the Hornets and are part of Edina High School's athletic program. The principal is Ms. Shawn Dudley. The vice principal is Craig Jensen. It has also just been remodeled in 2006.

The school offers a French Immersion program. Thus, students from the Normandale Elementary French Immersion School are able to continue learning in two languages - English and French. Those students attend Valley View even if they don't live in the normal area.

[edit] Interesting facts

This school, unlike most middle schools, is a grade six through nine building. Valley View also offers three ninth grade classes traditionally reserved for high school: economics, government, and physics, although it does not offer any AP classes.
