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.
The Test Score Rating reflects annual state test results for this school compared with scores statewide.

VSSA is an incredible school for students who are very competitive in winter sports. The school is very supportive of its student-athletes and allows them to train on snow, in the winter, 6 days a week. The senior class of 2018-19 had the 7th best composite SAT score in the state of Colorado.

I enjoyed my tim here and learned a lot. The school allowed me to pursue my skiing passion and i had a wonderful time doing so. Skiing sometimes ate into my academic success but over all it was a good school.
