Valley Middle School was built in 1965 and is the oldest middle school in the District. The school is located east of Interstate 5 and just over a mile from the beach. The main entry is from Magnolia Avenue and the drop-off and pick-up are limited to the corner of Magnolia Avenue and Valley Street. The campus has three main levels: a lower, main, and upper level, and requires the use of ramps for accessibility. The “pod” style classroom buildings surround a courtyard on the main level and 14 portable classrooms were added to the lower level. The core facilities can be accessed from the main courtyard. The campus is surrounded by residential development on three sides: north, south, and west. Magnolia Elementary School is across the street to the west. The permanent and portable buildings are in Fair condition. Building 800 is in Good condition and Building 1200 was completed in 2017 and is in Excellent condition.
