I personally believe that Valley Central High School is a pretty decent school. It has its own setbacks but overall I would give it a 7/10. I would wish to change how they go about getting seniors ready for college. I feel like I was left a bit on my own for figuring this all out.

Valley Central high school is just another typical high school with nothing special to offer. It has some classes and sports, but nothing really stands out. The building is very dirty, and the activities are pretty standard.
6/2/2022
It's a pretty mediocre school. The teachers there are ok and the administration are fine. The are a lot of programs to choose from so that's good. I never really liked it because it had no diversity. But for the most part I'm getting a good education there.
