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 am a high school graduate and I graduated from Smith Valley High. I loved it there. The classes are small, but also not too small. The classes are just the right size with students and the teachers are willing to help with anything to help succeed in school and to be able to participate in anything.

The school safety system is okay but effective, because there is little to no violence at the school. The police are nearby, so they can get to the school quickly if we need them. But there are few safety measures that the school uses, mostly limited to security cameras and having most of the school doors locked.
