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.

It was good. The teachers are amazing. It is a small town so you become friends with a lot of people in the school.

Moved here as junior. Small school, small town. Hard to break into cliques, not very receptive to outsiders. Very supportive of diverse thoughts regarding LGBTQ amongst student, not so much amongst parents.
5.0 Junior
1/23/2020
The teachers of Valdez High School will help students to succeed. I am doing multiple sports and manage to be a straight A's student. Overall, the students, teachers, and staff are friendly and welcoming.
