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.

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.

Chippewa Valley is an above average school. It has a lot of students enrolled. Most of the teachers are great, you meet a lot of interesting people and the teaching is pretty good. Sports are most likely the best thing at the school.
