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.
The Test Score Rating reflects annual state test results for this school compared with scores statewide.

I met some great peers and supportive teachers at PV. There are many clubs and sports to participate in. I would like to see more AP courses and periods offered.

The best part of my experience were the teachers and staff who made it easy to communicate with them and were always ready to help.
