GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

So bad I'm transferring to another school. Every year it gets worse and worse and I get further and further behind. No one cares and the kids are mean people just like the adults. It's the most unwelcoming school I've ever been. I hate my life here.

I think the teachers at my school do a good job at teaching their students. I wish our school had more college class opportunities for the students, as well as, electives. Our school doesn't have very much money so one might feel deprived of new technologies or study methods. Some of our books that we learn from are quite old, so some teachers use the internet to teach more modern material. Overall, I feel that most of the teachers do the best with what they have to offer their students.

If I could go back and have the decision to go to a different school, I don't know if I would go because of the close- knit environment this school offers. Everyone at this school knows each other! You walk down the hallway and know everyone and if there is a new student everyone is excited to see them. I even know the cooks and janitors! I have enjoyed attending school with the same people I went to school with since elementary. Due to our lack of money, I feel like I have a better knowledge of need versus want. I think that it has been a good experience to understand that sometimes you have to make the best out of what you have.

Don’t expect to receive a free public education or even be serviced. They don’t even know how to properly test your child. Idaho’s department of education is aware a...

Staff is very lazy, and doesn’t care for the students. People are only hired if they have the right last name. Some staff is not punished for not following the rules. No one actually cares for the education of the student they mainly only care about their paycheck and what little they have to do to...

There are NO TEACHERS, ONLY Coaches. If you're child is not in a sport or a long time resident, You're considered an outsider; therefore the push children to their breaking point.

I have four children that have graduated from Marsh Valley High School. They have great programs and wonderful teachers. We plan on staying in this valley until all of our children have completed their education.
