I have attended Central Valley High all four years of high school. So far it has been a decent experience with many opportunities to attend Shasta College and take interesting classes. The best parts of the school would be the small size and ability to communicate to teachers easily. The worst may be the food or the lack of bathrooms on campus. Our school often only keeps one restroom open, which I find upsetting and would like to be changed.

Central valley high school is ready to prepare their students for college. Some of the teachers shouldn't be working.

What I enjoyed about Central Valley was its academics. They push their students to be successful and because of that, I have taken many AP and honors classes there, and have done well in them.

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...
