Valley High School is the best high school in our area, but it is still mediocre. Majority of the teachers are amazing people, but do not know how to teach. The education itself is too inconsistent. The teachers all have different methods of teaching and it can be a little inconvenient. The janitors, lunchroom workers, book keepers, secretary, principle, and nurse are all awesome at their jobs. The school can be very strict, but we also love to have fun at sporting events.

I would give it a 3. This school did not prepare me for Auburn University, but at least the military recruiters talked to everyone once a week (which was far more than what the counselors my senior year did). I can't pass Engineering Calculus 2 at Auburn, but at least I have a pen that says USMC.

I am a student at this school, and I am getting bullied. I told my teachers and the guidance. Nothing has been done about it. Some teachers treat us like 2nd graders
