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.

It was an okay experience graduating from CV. It was not the best atmosphere to learn, but the teachers were great.

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.

In my school people don't really get bullied. We have a very close school and people get along well. I think my school is very safe. There is always an armed officer and there is on way in our school and one way out. It works very well.

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