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.

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.

So what i liked about my experience here at valley was that I had good memories here since I started in my freshman year I had many friends in freshman year and made memories in many of my classes and joined the NAC and made even more memories there and in my sophomore year I joined the New Media Academy when in the first year being in it we learned how to edit pictures in photoshop and make them look pretty and all. So in my junior year of high school in the new media academy i learned how to edit videos and made some short skits so in my senior year I helped the school news my doing interviews .
