Valley Heights USD #498 is located in southern Marshall County and is comprised of the communities of Blue Rapids and Waterville. Valley Heights has a tradition of success in all areas of academics and activities. Through fidelity and rigor, our elementary was named a 2017 and 2022 Blue Ribbon School for their transformation within the MTTS framework which ensures each individual students social/emotional and academic needs are met. In 2018 and 2023 they were named a National Title I Distinguished School for closing the achievement gap for all student groups, one of only two schools in the state of Kansas to be recognized. Most recently, the foundational work to become a Trauma Informed district has been initiated to address the mental health and SEL of our diverse student population. Another goal we are striving to achieve is in creating collaborative teams of community and school representatives to establish relationships and build connectivity between our district, parents and patrons. Valley Heights has an experienced and dedicated staff that is continually looking towards ways to improve and increase student achievement.
