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.

School here is very mundane, teachers can range to very motivated and springy, all the way to gloomy and unmotivated. Many students say that they hate at least one teacher.

West Valley is a school with good teachers who are always there to help if a student needs it. The other students are lively and kind, they make the school a welcoming place and they feel like family. Just about every day I'm excited to come and learn because it's a great environment that encourages us students to learn, grow, and be more outgoing.

This school has by far been then best school I've ever been to, with low amount of students, great teachers, college plan helpers, and great programs... Not only that they have an all new school (remodeled in 2006.. or so). They have the best fun too! GO EAGLES!
