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, attending Spring Valley High School has been great. The teachers are kind, and so are the other workers. The principal works hard to prove us with a well-kept, and safe campus. There is also a lot of help offered for students wanting to go to college or trade schools, or whatever their post high school plans are.

Spring Valley has really been a home away from home. We spend most of our time in the year at school and it really is one of the most important places you'll ever be. This high school really helps create the best path for you to go down as they set you up for success. i would not have accomplished the dreams i've had for years without this school uplifting me. Yes, it's not perfect but no school is. I wouldn't have picked a better school to be the foundation of my future education. I feel prepared and ready for what may come in the next couple of years.

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...
