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.

My overall experience with swan valley has been sub par. Although I did exceed academically, the social aspect of the school is a struggle. The kids are not very inclusive and rude. Also the sports we have are very limited. I wish they had more options for me like skiing or swimming.

My experience at Swan Valley High School was simply mediocre. The best parts were the Friday night football games, the friends made along the way, and the memories. The worst parts were the lack of diversity, poor teacher quality, and poor environment.

Swan Valley is a good district and good school overall. Especially at the high school in my experience, the teachers always showed me that they care about their students and where their education stands. One thing I would like to see change would be the amount of options for AP & IB classes & classes overall. SV have good options but some of their options aren't for everybody. Sports options would be a nice change too such as adding in archery for example. In contrary, I do recommend this school and district.

One of the posters below mentioned that SV does not prepare students for college, this may be a little true but i have not met one person in college that was truly prepared for what it requires. I have found m...
