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.

I have been going to Mountain Valley Academy school since first grade. The teachers have all been helpful and friendly, but that doesn't mean easy. The quality of our work was always expected to be above average.

Mountain Valley Academy is a school that provides flexibility to its students. Most classes do not require attendance, and are designed to be able to be completed from home. This means that a student can stay home for personal reasons, get a job, or simply take a couple more sick days than other schools. While this is great, for someone who really prides themselves upon a good education, this is not the best choice.

I love how because there's not hundreds of kids that attend this high school, it's possible to have personal relationships with teachers, which causes for better grades!
In my opinion, the class work is too rigorous. They give students way too much homework and it takes up many hours in a day. It feels rushed as well, the students don’t get enough time to learn in class because there’s not that much time in class. Sometimes we’d be rushing to get work done before th...
