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.

personally, I don't feel like validus preparatory Academy is a bad school. It's honestly a very easy school to attend because teachers can focus on students more frequently because there's not a lot of students attending due to the fact that we're a small school the best part about Validus is that we are a family and we are communicating very well with each other and we try our best to work good however, the worst parts of being invited a student is that there's not many options when it comes to like after school programs or extra help

I had a really good high school experience at Validus Preparatory High School. I believe this to be because of the educational setting they set, the great teachers I could always count on, and of course my friends and classmates. After I graduated I realized that what I had at Validus prep wasn't just a group of people doing their jobs, another family is what I had.
