Valley high school as staff and counselors who want to see you succeed and there are alot of tools to help you at the next level. There are programs like the anteater academy and NAC which prepare you for college. Even if college isn't in your future Valley still classes such as dental, medical, engineering, automotive, and cooking, so you can learn those skills and pursue a career from them. One thing Valley could improve on is diversity because majority of the student body is Mexican/ Latino.

When I transferred to this school, it felt like I found a family there. Everyone is super friendly and you don't here anything about bullying and such.

My experience at Valley High School okay. The teachers were very helpful and very involved just like any other school. However, I would like to see change in the way the school disciplines their kids. Many kids didn't get the punishments they deserved. I also would like the school dress code to be fair. I believe girls should be able to wear a shirt that shows their shoulders and boys should be taught to respect.
