Jones Valley Middle School (formerly Jones Valley K-8 School) is a middle school in the former Jones Valley High School in Powderly. The Birmingham Board of Education first converted it into a middle school in 1988, but it later expanded into a K-8 school.
The existing 1963 building was demolished and a new school building, designed by Fuller Thompson Olds Architects, was constructed on the same site in 2011. At the time, a Board committee recommended naming the new school for Judge Oscar Adams, but residents preferred to keep the existing name.
In 2011 the Board consolidated students from A. G. Gaston K-8 School and Wenonah K-8 School to Jones Valley.
In 2013 the Board voted to move Jones Valley's elementary grades to the new Oxmoor Valley Elementary School.
