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.

My experience with Villa Rica High School was hard and fun. There were times when I wanted to drop out and do online or go to a new school due to not understanding some teachers. When time were rough some amazing counselors that wanted me to give it my all and to not give up. They were very nice and quick; they didn't waste any time on me. During my 10th grade year, I was terrible in math, and they wanted to do as much as they could, so I won't be held back. They all wanted me to graduate on time. if it wasn't for them, I wouldn't have graduated and got back on track.

It's gained a new gym, band room, and freshman academy just in the last four years. The band has grown to be a great program for everyone, thanks to the new band director. The bigges...

I graduated from Villa Rica a few years ago. There were many problems, but none were major. The school is very average. I had all honors and AP classes, so I was not as exposed to as much primitive behavior as some of my peers. I would just like to say, VRHS has an impeccable honors/AP program, for...
