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.

Currently go to WV and it's a pretty good school. Overall, amazing. Great teachers and clubs, including sports and resources to support the students. Preparation for high school and the state test are amazing, they teach things that not all middle schools teach and do. I will say, the auditorium is quite old and rusty, knowing the school was made in 1957. Good they have a huge auditorium facility though, needs some cleaning and improvements, 3 stars for facilities for that reason.

Welsh valley made my life a living h*ll I got bullied every day. I never went a class period without seeing a fight. There were some silver linings. The teachers ( for the most part) were great. The administration never took bullying seriously. If they can clean up the culture this would be a good school.

I am a student here! I very much like this school. Most teachers are nice but a few are mean. The principal is a very respectable guy. He seems educated and nice. I had 1 of the mean teachers. The academics are quality and it SHOWS!!!
