Its honestly a good school except for the funding going into the wrong things. Some water fountains don't work, bathrooms need a lot of touching up and the food is awful.

Shelby Valley High School is the traditional high school experience. This school varies in greatness with its academics being one of it's strongest suits and administration being one of its weakest.

Overall great school with a principal and many teachers who genuinely care. However, the bathrooms smell like smoke and there are some teachers who does not care.
