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.

For the first time since elementary school, my daughter is enjoying school!!! She doesn’t like to miss any days at school! She loves her teachers. My daughter is smiling again! We are not fighting over grades! She wants to stay at Valley Vista for her Senior year!

I would rate my experience at this school as great! I was able to work on the credits that I needed on my own time at a pace that was best for me, and I got to graduate half a year early too!
