West Valley Central School

West Valley Central School, known locally as WVCS, is a K-12 school located in West Valley, an unincorporated hamlet in the town of Ashford, New York. Due to Ashford's relatively small population and the district's limited geographic size, the school serves only a few hundred students. There are separate wings for the elementary, middle, and high school, although some rooms in the school are shared, such as the cafeteria, gymnasium, and auditorium.

There are many extracurricular activities. The school no longer has its own athletic department but has an agreement with Ellicottville Central School to allow student-athletes to play for their teams. This merger will end at the end of the 2019 school year.

Because of the school's small size and enrollment, the school has discussed the possibility of merging with neighboring districts, but a straw poll to gauge support for a merger with Ellicottville Central School returned a negative response in the late 2000s. Other neighboring districts have been suggested as possible merger partners for West Valley, but none have shown significant interest.
