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.

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.

It's a sick place. Teachers are awful and no one forces them to teach. Kids are mean and lazy and there is too much free time for kids to leave and smoke. If you struggle and need help you will never be given the help you need. They want me to drop out and my group is forced to drop out because they all try to push us out. They don't care about us and don't even pretend to care. I think they cheat on all those state tests they report because it's not adding up. Something is very wrong. Go someplace that actually cares.

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 made straight As in high school but I can't pass college classes. Marsh Valley lied to me giving me As I thought I was prepared but I am struggling to pass any of my college classes. I think we lost a lot from not going on Fridays and most of our days Monday - Thursday teachers don't teach at all. The focus was on sports not academics and we weren't even good at sports. I graduated and then realized I was less than mediocre and just behind. I don't know if I can ever catch up.

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.
