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.

Kings Valley Charter School is a very special place. When you walk in you don't feel like you're in school, you feel like you are in a family. The students and the teachers are so nice. I feel like I can have an honest conversation about anything with teachers and my voice will be heard. We also have so many chances whether it is with field trips or classes we get to learn what WE want not what the district wants us to, Ya we have to meet certain requirements but we have a voice on what we want to learn, and it is taken into consideration. Kings Valley cant be explained in only 1,000 characters I could go on and on about the school. But the only thing I will leave with is that KVCS is a unique place and I am lucky to be one of the 200 kids who attend KVCS

Kings Valley Charter School is a rural public charter school with the feel of a private school. The education is top notch and very personalized. Due to the small size of the classrooms, the kids are able to go outside of the classroom to learn. The school has an intimate environment that makes ever...
