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.

Susitna Valley has a very close-nit community with great teachers and many good sports programs. Because of the size there are not many specialized classes offered.

Susitna Valley Highschool has been my life for the past four years. Graduating in the class of 2020 I am apart of the Senior class all over the country reflecting on their highschool experience. I realize I am truly lucky to have gone to this small rural school. Even when the budget was high Susitna Valley Highschool was still able to provide me with a great athletic program. And with funding towards education in Alaska being very low teacher I cared about were cut from the staff. The ones that were able to keep their job I was able to connect with and create a lifelong bond. Small class sizes allowed me to get one on one with the teacher and learn to the best of my abilities. I have learned so much from Susitna Valley Highschool and I am deeply humbled by my experiences there. The knowledge my school has gifted me will be with me for all my life. Susitna Valley Highschool has made me into the respectable man I am today and I am eternally grateful for my time here.

At Su- Valley the best thing that I liked was the teachers. I truly mean this. I find in particular that one teacher named Mr. Tom Harrison is a very excellent teacher. He teaches math, physics, and chemistry. When I had his class in tenth grade for Geometry it was amazing. When I struggled I knew that I could count on him to ask for help. What's more amazing is that he dedicates his lunch hour to helping kids with math problems which is one of the things that I also really appreciated, because I had to ask for help a few times.
