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.

The experience I had at Tonopah Valley High School was interesting threw out the years teachers have helped me grow as a person to become the successful person I would like to be. I also had fun in dance, art, and sculpture class had to be my favorites out of the school year.

They do block scheduling and at any normal high school across the country 1 semester counts as a year long class (English is the only exception to this rule). They make everyone take Algebra 1 all year long...
