Valley Lutheran school is the best Christian school you can ever go to! The staff is the best and the people there are very respectful.

Overall, Valley excels academically, but fails athletically. Athletics are not major or a focus and we usually do not win many games or championships. However, the teachers are very kind and typically able to teach well and explain the subjects well.
