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.

The teachers have helped me excel throughout the last four years of my high school career. They have pushed me to be the best that I can be. I would not be where I am today without them being my mentors.

I graduated from Otter valley. My experience at this school was not a good experience. There was no real discipline for students actions. I was attacked at the school by a student and teachers looked the other way and did not help me. I had to file with the police to get something done to that student. I applied through our sending school otter valley to attend Stafford Technical school in Rutland. I got in the culinary program and loved it. Now I am in college going to culinary institute of America in New York.

My experience at Otter Valley was more than I could have asked for in a high school experience. The principle and staff are engaged and supportive of all students. They continue to work towards proving a high quality education by offering advanced level courses to meet the needs of students who are looking for more of challenge as well as offering self driven learning opportunities for students that learn best that way. They support students as a group and as individuals to reach their goals.
