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 expereicne at Golden View has been excellent as the classes and teachers are very good and the extra curricular activites are excellent. I have been able to make many new friends and connect with teachers much better than being in a regular 2000 student public school. I would recommend Golden View to any 8th grader!

Golden View sticks to its values in every aspect from sports to recess to curriculum. The curriculum is tied through every subject so if they are studying my ancient India in history then it's ancient India writing and art and music too. Reading and math courses are excellent and the K-12 nature encourages so many amazing dynamic interactions.

I am an eighth grader at this school, this is my first year! First off I must say that the schools I have been to over the years have been not great, so I have pretty low standards. The education at this school is much better than any I've ever seen. The students (for the most part, BEWARE EIGHTH GR...

We have been at the school since its inception in 2015. We started with a child in one of the lower grades at GVCA and have had several children attend both Grammer and Upper School. I believe any parent considering this school needs to understand that the children who attend are expected to fit a p...
