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.

I and most of my family members have attended Valley Falls Schools. This is a small community with a very strong school system and teachers that deeply care about their student's successes. Whether it be academics, sports, clubs or community outreach, Valley Falls Schools are amazing.

Valley Falls High School offers such a close community to connect with. The atmosphere is amazing and the class sizes are small. One change that could be made is the teacher turnover. Many new teachers don't stay longer than a year which makes it hard to get to know the teachers.

Valley Falls is a very supportive high school, the people here always have one another's back. I loved my experience at Valley Falls, being such a small school and being able to know everyone in our school is my favorite part. If i did have to change something it would be the involvement in sport activities and coming together to show school spirit.
