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.

The experience at Valle Verde has overall been a positive one. The teachers are great, and genuinely care about the students. The best parts of my experience are the teachers and the subject matter being taught at the school. The worst parts are the limited clubs and events at Valle Verde, leading to a limited high school experience. I definitely would want to see more clubs added and a larger variety of high school courses.

As a parent, I saw my child grow not only intellectually but he also matured as a person. He will be attending Texas Tech in the fall and he is prepared to be successful. I am grateful to the facility and staff for treating him as he was their own child and nurturing his special gifts.

This school is the perfects school any student can ever imagine! This is my second year here and all of us, including the teachers, are just like a family. We not only get to graduate with two diplomas, but we also have normal high school experiences like homecoming, prom, spirit week, etc. The vari...
