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.

I would like to see more assistance and counseling available for mental health. Also education on drugs, alcohol, and addiction.

There is lots of variety in the courses you can take and the teachers are 50/50 some good and some not so great but it all depends on the teaching style that works best for you! There are lots of clubs and sports you can take part in and it's a welcoming environment. But like any other school there is always room for improvement.

CVU had a great community and was super supportive of whatever every single student wanted to do and learn. Their mission is to see every student succeed and they fulfill that every day. I just graduated this year and I had a blast at CVU.
