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.

I have have a good experience attending Central Valley. I like that the teachers and staff are passionate about their jobs and truly want all of the students here to succeed. I don't have very many complaints, except there are a few rules about dress code that I don't agree with and some policies could be better.
