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.

Great Administration and approachable. I would like to see more career pathways for all learners. More opportunities for help with classwork and staying on target. Music program is excellent!!

Quality teachers, amazing programs to see you grow, so much more could happen if there was an administration that listened to teachers and students instead of trying to control every second of every day.

I really enjoyed my experience at PV. I was able to find my best friends who have the same interests as me while getting a great education. The school spirit here is unlike anything else. Never ever miss a home football game!

I found this school to be proactive AND reactive to bullying. They have a great special education program, but in the earlier years, some schools in this district are better than others. The class offerings are great. I think this school is great for excelling students but not as great for students...

I've gone here since kindergarten, and up until junior high the school was great! However, in junior high and highschool people are a lot more rude to one another and bullying is very common. While I was never bullied, I was also never included, and I think that was the case with a lot of students....
