GreatSchools Rating
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.

My son attended BV and he's now in his senior year at Salinas High. He has done exceedingly well, much of which I credit to BV. Students are prepared for high school when they leave BV and my son, as well as his peer group who attended BV, did very well at SHS.
