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 school in itself has gotten cleaner but students may get rowdy somedays. However that doesn't mean it is a bad school, Its welcoming and i do enjoy the (short) time I have spent at this school and I have met many great teachers and fellow classmates.

It's an okay school. The students aren't that good and aren't managed well. Most teachers just let students do whatever and don't really take good care of controlling them. You will get a good education however expect to see a divide between kids who want to be there and just pure party animals.

It's a huge a school so you have a lot opportunities and it's also how I found about this scholarship but overall I've been at SV since kindergarten going to 6/7 of the schools that they have and it's been great! The teachers are amazing!

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.
