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 I believe it is a good school, but I think it is too much of a sports school most of the non-sports clubs are very underdone for example the average model un trip costs about $150 out of the student's pocket. Aside from that pretty good academic school though I feel some of the science and math teachers could be a bit more patient, but as far as teachers go it is definitely a range some of them might be the best teachers I have ever had or will have, and some will just be unfair or unrealistic for there expectations.

Pascack Valley is a pretty great school district. Most kids are great and it is a really welcoming community where differences are celebrated. I feel that in some areas teachers either give too much work or too little work, but overall a great school. There isn't much I'd change specifically at Pascack Valley. Some specific topics/teachers need improvement, but overall the school is fine.

I loved my experience at PV! I didn’t realize it while I was attending the school, but once I started college I realized I was way more prepared than many of my classmates. 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.
