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 best experience with this school is the bonds you create with all of your teachers and faculty members. Leaving behind those memories and people are going to be hard.

I think Pleasant Valley is great for people looking for a small-town feel and wanting to pursue farming or agriculture. I would like to see some of the teachers and faculty held accountable for what they are doing and saying in the schools. I don't enjoy how pushed sports are I think that should be the least of the school's concerns. If you are a really big sports person, you may have a different opinion than me!

Great High School. The best experience for me is my sport which is wrestling. I am thankful that my High School has a wrestling program. Our school's academic's is also great. I am thankful for a wonderful education. The only thing I would recommend for our school is more clubs and more electives.

This is such a wonderful school. There are fantastic teachers who truly care about the students. I went there from 8th grade until graduation and loved every second of it. It is a great small, country school where everyone knows everyone.
