Valley High School is a good school with great school spirit. I think the electives are slightly limiting but it will probably get better when I become a junior or senior I assume. The school shows you how to do SAT prep so college readiness is there if you want to to the prep. The staff are kind and understanding. When Valley and Hundred consolidate we will be getting more budget which will help for academics I assume.

It's a small school in a small town so everyone knows everything and there is an issue with teachers and parents involvement with student drama. There is also a very large math deficiency among the student body.
