WWVA is a great school because it's a close knit community. Not a fan of the uniforms or school lunches but the teachers are invested in the students and technology is incorporated into the learning experience.

Walla Walla Valley Academy is a school, with many strong aspects to it; however, it is stuck as far as being able to grow programs to attract new students and the ability to use funding provided by these students to grow their programs. the other issue with WWVA is the fact that there are very few resources given to students looking to go to colleges outside of Walla Walla University, any college help has to be sought out outside of school.

WWVA is a pretty cool school. It's nice and small, and the students there are mostly all nice. The teachers are all good too, they're helpful and understanding of special circumstances. The only thing I'd chance is some of the administration, who can be a bit rude and seemingly heartless at times.

I don't know what school that other student attended, but I believe that WWVA is the best school I have ever gone to.
