The majority of the schools funding goes to the CREST program, making it a rather advanced program. I can say no bad things about CREST as a bioscience student (aside from the rigorous coursework, but that comes with the nature of an academic program), but unfortunately this skewed funding affects the rest of the school.

I love going to this school. It is really fun to participate in the activities and it offers so many opportunities with the CREST program. I went to BASIS Peoria for middle school and coming to this school was an unforgettable experience, especially compared to the stress and lack of hands on experience at BASIS.

Paradise valley high School is a very high standards school which also works with stem and has a crest program in it which prepares you specifically with you're major interests since I am in that program I believe it has prepared me for the college life and academics teaching me computer science and with other options such as biology and engineering.

My son has been a student at PVHS for three years. I was hesitant initially to enroll him based on hearsay from parents who had a child attend in many years past. I am absolutely thrilled that I did not listen. I love PVHS.Ian Deonise is the school's principal. He is communicative and hands on. We r...

My child went to Horizon for Freshman year but was bussed to PV for electives. 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...
