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 moved to Smithson Valley High School two years ago and I cannot explain how much more involved and better it is compared to my old school. This school is so big about keeping the history and the culture stay connected to the school each and everyday. I would not trade going to this school for the world.

Instead of putting all the raised money from our school into sports, I would put the money towards education and maintenance. I do like the diversity in the school and our teachers are hardworking.

Smithson Valley is a pretty great school. Like any other school it has its ups and downs, but nonetheless I believe it's a good school. It offers a great opportunity for those whom want to get the opportunity to get into college.
I am extremely pleased with the school. I've never encountered any problems. The teachers are always supportive, and the community and environment are fantastic.
The teachers at this school are terrible! Especially if they are coaches, they aren't there to teach and could CARE LESS!

They push you under a rug if you are not the top 10% of your class and they push you under a rug if you’re not an exceptionally good athlete. They do not want to help, I was harass...
sv is a great school but the admin /AP's lacks any sense of moral resposibility when it comes to attacking the issue of bullying. One of the AP's literally made me wait for a whole week to talk to someone about an issue although he was the one who initiated that we would talk asap after we returned...
