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.

My experience seemed similar to others who hacve attended West Valley High School. It was a tight knit community in a small town. I enjoyed participating in our school's FFA program and taking college courses while in high school. Our involvment in school sports was what really brought our students together.

Well I'm currently enrolled at West Valley High School as my first year as a freshman and all I have to say is the academics is the best part about the whole school in general... Like I'm not kidding most of the teachers are really rude but there are some really cool nice teachers. But the worst thing about the school is the kids that go here because all of them are disrespectful, racist, liars, fake, try hards and think they can beat anyone up so if you want to go to a school where you wanna feel comfortable don't come here because I'm telling you this schools people suck badly. That's the whole truth.
