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.

Teachers are always looking out for you, even when the administration isn't. Incredible fine arts facility.

As a Walker Valley student, I have loved the effort teachers put into their students beyond the classroom. However, there are a lot of cliques regarding favoritism and popularity. Also, there are not many criminology or in-depth biology classes, which would help students get a better feel for those subjects. I would like to see a broader range of opportunities for students and a more inclusive atmosphere.

Walker Valley is an amazing school. It has great academics to challenge students and plenty of opportunities to explore different fields of study. It is a newer school so while sanitation and the like are typical for any public high school, we have pretty nice facilities and a nice building.

He and the guidance staff made sure you were prepared for whatever path you...

I can honestly say Walker Valley High School saved my life. I transferred in my freshman year after experiencing extreme bullying at Cleveland High, and I don't even have words for how wonderful it is. Not only are the teachers wonderful, the students are all generally very nice. Teachers use out of...
