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.

In general, I cherished the relationships I built with teachers and friends. There is a support system for everyone at Maryvale. However, I'd definitely redo the restrooms and provide better lunch.

When I started out as a freshman I found it very hard because I was thrown into this new big school and I wasn't ready. I thought I thought I would have been okay because I had my friends but things changed we were in different classes and we didn't see each other much and some of us turn our backs to one another. Things later got hard because at the time I had lots of things I needed to do which distracted me from school which then I started to slip in my classes until finally I found a friend who helped me in all my classes and I made it with oaky grades. Then sophomore year was all online which made things harder. Coming back into Junior year everything was so different we had mask computers we were all separated from each other until it started to calm down and things kind of went back to normal. Senior year was easy but also hard trying to keep up and keep my grades up but it took a big turn for me to a point were I didn't feel comfortable to go to school anymore but I kept going.
