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.

They try to teach in a way that students actually understand, They believe in second chances and they work their butts off everyday for OUR education, we need more of that.

This school is for people who deserve a second chance. I would go to this school again because it met my needs. The school helped work with me when I became sick and couldn't come to school anymore. The teachers went out of their way for me to help me graduate. It helps people like me who got the horrible end of the stick, to make a right in their life amongst a pool of wrong. These kids who didn't have a chance were given one by the teachers and Valley High School.

I eventually fell so far behind that it was impossible for me to catch up. I decided I was never going to school again. But then a friend...
