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.

Overall, Seneca is a school I really enjoy. I find support in any interest I choose to pursue, for me, that is music, in band and choir, and mathematics and computer science. Almost every teacher has been so pleasant to work with and is so understanding, and I feel like it's such a safe space and home for me, after getting so involved in clubs and extracurriculars such as marching band or jazz band or madrigal choir.

seneca valley as a person who is still there, it isnt what you may think. From my point of view, I think it ruined me as a person. People there are just dont care, if you get attacked, hurt, bullied, etc, they dont care, they literally care about people who skip??? I was being hated on, attacked, scared, and even worse. And the administration did NOTHING. I had the worst experience there so far, HAINE as a seneca part, is way better in whole of the school. They dont care about you, i dont even feel safe at all. Gas leaks, seneca on the news, no one to help, the only people who care are the nice teachers who love their students. Shoutout to them, they are the ones carrying the school as a whole.

Constant bullying and nothing is done. There are supposedly good programs for stopping bullying but it doesn’t seem anything is EVER done for it. The person defending themselves first is. ALWAYS punished, and something REALLY needs to be done about that…

My daughter graduated from Seneca Valley. It's the best school. The teachers are just great. The principal of the Sr High was around when I was in high school. Great guy. Can't say enough good about the school.

As a past student and as I read some of the revues by some of the past students it's so funny how bad a review some these people give. No school is perfect Seneca is one of the larger school districts in area. They have nice updated buildings and lots of opportunities in different sports and clubs.

Wow after reading all the negative reviews I feel much better about myself because I barely had to try back then and it still wasnt anything compared to college. If they are having a hard time at Seneca dont waste your money on an expensive college.
