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 overall experience with Virgin Valley High School is decent. The school itself could benefit from stronger academic teaching. The teachers are good and seem to care well about the students. I would like to see more school spirit and having to include the whole student body in the majority of events.

After attending all four years at VVHS, I couldn't ask for a better school to be apart of. The teachers at this school are some of the most caring ever, and their teaching is just as good. The school offers a wide variety of electives as well as after school activities. The students, especially the student council, are also always actively involved in any events the school does.

Though it's understandable to reward students who excel in activiti...
