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.

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 experience was very nice and really prepared me for college. I think that all of the teacher, clubs, and people in the school uplifted one another and allowed everyone to succeed.

Evergreen Valley can be an incredible place for students that are interesting in challenging themselves academically and through extracurricular activities. The culture is fast-paced and moderately demanding.

EVHS has great facilities and vigorous academics. I wasn't the biggest fan of the sports the coaches were just teachers so they weren't that experienced. The clubs, participation, and community weren't a big thing until my senior year. Most of the teachers were helpful but you would need to ask for help for them to actually pay attention to you. Although I met really great people at EVHS and because of them they have made my high school experience really fun.

Disappointed in the education my student received here. Although the student body is essentially a positive group, and there were some highlights for them to focus on, the overall high-school experience was poor.
