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.

Valdese Elementary School is a great learning environment. The teachers all know one another and have great relationships with their students. I know this from experience when I attended. It's not only a great learning environment but a great place to grow as a child as wel with all the break out sessions.
