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.

I went to Central Valley High School all four years of my High School Life and I got to say it was pretty great. Even though we weren't the most athletic school or won a lot of games/matches, we were one of the best academically. Central Valley focus more on the students academic goals and helping them achieve the most out of their classes.

I have been having a good experience at Central Valley, the teachers have been very helpful whenever I seek help and I have not had any problems with any of them. I also like the selection of courses offered all of the ones I have taken is not too difficult. The campus is also pretty nice, there isn't a lot of littering and I see that it is well-kept.

I believe this school provided my son with a great education, the chance to earn almost a year of college credits, as well as the opportunity to play sports he might not have been able to play at a larger school. This school gave him great memories, friends, and a ton of options after graduation.

She graduated Valedictorian of her class with a 4.65GPA. We kept her at CV because we knew the reputation of caring teachers...
