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.
The Test Score Rating reflects annual state test results for this school compared with scores statewide.

My best experience is playing basketball and winning. My worst experience is not getting the help that I've should've gotten from teachers only because we had so many substitutes, but not understanding why our original teachers were quitting.

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.

Both have had excellent teachers, made friends and experienced cultural diversity. YV is a big family, working together for student succ...

My class had about 650 students with a total student body population of about 3,000. I worked hard bu...
