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.

As a freshman, my first-year experience has been an amazing one. Academics opportunities have been great, sports and activities offered are enjoyable, and general high school environment feels very safe and pleasant. I'm looking forward to the next few years of high school and what I can do at Tri-Valley.

Most teachers are the most loving, dedicated people you'll ever meet, but there are some here that just ruin learning for students.

There is a wide variety of clubs to be involved with (Key Club, National Honor Society, Spanish Club, FFA, GSA, etc) but none of these really require much commitment and that makes them boring, students sometimes forget they are even a part of some clubs. Clubs could use improvement in the areas of engagement and excitement.
