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.

I thought Valley was enjoyable and I received a good education and took part in many clubs there. I think there are many helpful resources at Valley if taken advantage of by students.

I loved this school although since I went there during a transitional period of becoming an IB school, it was very confusing to learn as a student. Choosing classes was complex and confusing but overall most teachers and schooling I had was above average. We also had a lot of teachers that genuinely cared about their students and would do anything to help them succeed.
