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.

This school is what you make of it. There are opportunities if you are willing to search for them. While there is significant room for improvement, I would like ask you: is anything really perfect? I assure you Owen Valley is not perfect, nor will it ever be, but I have been able to acquire a fairly decent education thus far.

Owen Valley is a descent school, it's typically a clean environment. The Music program is amazing, some classes are better than others. Teachers can be rude or lazy at teaching but not all. It's a descent place for an education and it's the perfect size. You get around good and people will help you without a doubt.

My daughter is a transfer student. This is her junior year. She loves OVHS. All of the kids, teachers, coaching staff, & administration welcomed her. I am so glad to see her enjoying school. From a parent, 'thank you so much.'
