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.

The best part about this school is the people, everyone comes together for events such as rallies. However, there is barely any communication about senior events or important stuff like that.

I think the best part about this school is how we learn to work with what we have, and we tend to exceed expectations in some areas like our robotics team. In terms of clubs, we have many different kinds, and people are bound to find something they like I think the worst part of the school is the reputation you get fro being a student here at YV. People are so quick to judge without even getting to know you or the school.
