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 favorite part about Pascack Valley is athletics and its facilities. I was on the track team and even though I don't like the sport of Track and Field, I loved the coaches and teammates, and I loved using facilities such as the very nice weight room. I also loved the teachers that helped bring out students' personalities. I have such fond memories of my senior year because of the ways teachers would get students involved at the school whether it be with assignments or simply engaging with students. In my experience a teacher had me get involved with a local veterans organization for memorials day and I had a lot of fun.

The higher staff aren't that accepting or understanding. Rarely teachers are difficult. I have had some very good experiences with teachers. The student peers are not very including.

Attending Pascack Valley allowed me to grow academically, socially, and emotionally. I learned responsibility and how I am in charge of my future. Virtual learning was a challenge, but I continued to achieve in all areas of learning despite the obstacles I faced.

We were challenged appropriately and learned the necessary tools to be independent learners at the collegiate level. I also rea...

Pascack Valley HS is an excellent school. I attended this school and all my children either attended or still attend this school.

None of the above referenced difficulties existed prior to the 2015-2016 academic year which until then was an outstanding school.
