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 have been in Spring Valley for a couple years and I recommend it to anyone who is looking for a high school because it is really good, it has amazing teachers who are very supportive and amazing. It has a big variety of people, cultures and backgrounds which makes it an excellent place to everyone because you can fit in anywhere. The clubs are amazing and there are a ton of different clubs and the security of the facility is good.

The staff aren't friendly towards students or parents. They focus on phones and clothes instead of bullying and other serious issues.

So far my experience attending Spring Valley is well. Most of my teachers during these years were kind, interactive, and loved doing their job. By this, I was able to understand and comprehend their topics.

The school would be better if they fired the principal tara powell. She does not care about the students and parents. Over half the staff do not like her. The students do not like her either.
