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 High school is good, the facilities and classes offered are very helpful and educational. Some classes will always be better than others and it always depends on the teacher. My class mates are another story but over all my high school experience has been pleasant.

Overall, Vinton isn't a bad place to go to school. You can always count on the teachers to help you whenever you have any questions. The only thing that wasn't the best with the school is the sports system: not all of the coaches are fair with the players. For the most part, the students in the school are welcoming to everyone and the grades always interact with each other at some point so everyone usually gets along well.

My experience was pretty average, you had the basic high school cliches. I was the type of person who talked to at least one person in each of the cliches. One thing I do wish I got the school administration to improve tremendously.
