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.

The best part was how eager this school was to make sure I had everything to graduate. The worst part is that this school always had some type of reason to kick us off the property be it because of school fights or the weather and those were times I needed to stay at school because home wasn't always the best place for me.

I have gone to Spring Valley High School in the IB program for all 4 years. The resources that the IB administration provides is great. However, there are many teachers who are NOT good, teachers who are racist, and teachers who have been reported multiple times to administration. The sports programs at Spring Valley are very limited. The food trucks who come are great.

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.

This school has the potential to be great. However, the principal here is all about micromanaging and creates an environment of bullying. She pretends she cares but never sets foot outside of her ivory tower. The kids know it and have voiced their opinions. It’s on a great area and has great student...
