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.

My son is in the 1st grade and started at North Valley in Pre_K . I have been nothing but happy with the experience of the school. It's a small safe community that gives me many opportunities to enjoy family functions and fun. My son loves school and I believe it's because of the small community.
