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.

This small-town school district has an incredibly welcoming atmosphere and there are countless athletic and non-athletic activities for students of all ages. The resource I appreciated most during high school was the amount of college in the classroom classes I was able to take. I have saved thousands of dollars by taking some dual credit classes in high school.

I really like how few people go to our school. It's nice how you know everyone in school. Our school is usually very clean, except the lunch room can get pretty dirty. I wish the location of our school was in a town instead of the middle of no where, so it makes it more accessible.

I really enjoyed the small classroom experience at LqPV. I believe that it benefited my academics, because the teachers could spend more time one-on-one helping me through questions that I may have had. The teachers were all very knowledgeable and provided me with the tools I needed for the future.
