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.

When I went to VPAA it was a great school. All of the teachers were nice and taught me well, I even still visit some of the teachers today. After my class (as in all the kids in my grade) left the school went down from an A. It's still a good school but now some of the rules are kind of ridiculous and some of the teaching styles aren't as effective as the ones before.

This school overall isn't bad is actually one of the good ones but some of my experiances there were not so memorable. The bullying for me was an issue I faced mostly but I got to enjoy a lot of things that I wish I could have back. The good memories with friends, the dance, and the graduation were all good experiances.
