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.
The Test Score Rating reflects annual state test results for this school compared with scores statewide.

Paradise Valley High School was on its own an above average school. It seems that there is a lot to take advantage of during your time there. It is just the own students lacking interest to actually reach out and find out more about their resources. The students at Paradise Valley are also not the worst, as you don't see or hear about a lot of violence throughout the school year. Making for a safer, comfortable feeling while there.

Teachers are all very helpful and willing to do what they can to help their students. Campus is cleaner than other campuses I have visited.
Send your kids to a real school. This is not the school you’re looking for. The teachers are low-IQ, lazy, self-entitled, bullying, condescending @$$holes. The administration is completely incompetent.
PVHS is a fabulous high school that happens to also be public. The honors, AP, and CREST classes are very rigorous and challenging; however, students are not loaded down with busy work homework. The block schedule is a little odd and takes some getting used to, but it affords the kids greater latitu...

We noticed that the kids at PV were so much friendlier and did not seem to have a sense of entitlement like the Horizon kids. I moved my child to this school where he thrived. I would highly recommend PV over Horizon. The...
