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.

Smoky Valley High School has an amazing music program. We have a band of almost 70 people, a big choir, and a talented orchestra. Every year we go to the district and state music festival, and almost always get ones in ensembles. We also have a good science program, and supportive teachers.

Smoky Valley has taught me every lesson I've ever needed to learn. A healthy learning environment that I wouldn't trade for anything else.

This school is all around very inclusive, it is very much a place that you can make a mistake and still rebound from it. The teachers are very caring and understanding. They will work with you, if you are struggling. The food is school food, so it is school food. The sports teams are always at a standing that people will respect the athletes. It is a school that most people might drive by and not think much of from the outside, but from the inside it is very easy to call home.

Smoky Valley is a wonderful school. The size of it allows for small class sizes, as well as for students to be involved in many different activities. However, Smoky Valley still has the resources of a larger school. The music and media technology programs are especially excellent.
