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 will be graduating from Van-Far in May 2023. The staff is doing an amazing job at teaching the students and pushing us to do better. You grow and learn so much here at Van-Far. For a small town, the school has so many activities and events.

My overall experience at Van-Far has been long, but knowledgeable. I've been going to Van-Far since I was just 5 years old. I know I can't judge the school based on the students in it; because they come and go, and everyone acts differently. But Van-Far has taught me about good character and being the bigger person in situations where other students look down on me. I've had some pretty good teachers here and they always give the best advice to their students and always want what's best for them. I can't thank this school enough for building me into the person I am today.
