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.

Central Valley High School is a great school. There are many teachers who care and will help you with homework. I like this school because you get to pick which classes you want, but you still have to take required courses. This school has an amazing football field and team. We have many athletics to choose from including track, football, tennis, swimming, and more. We also have a cyber course for the students.

It's an okay school. The classes are good and there is a decent diversity when it comes to class choices. The people can be annoying, but that's to be expected. The food isn't great but it isn't the worst. The best class there is band.

Terrible schools. Political hires that do not prepare children for college. FAR too many students on the "honor rolls". Will end up like Aliquippa.
