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.

For South Dakota the school, staff, and facilities are very excellent in the area. The atmosphere and environment is very uplifting. Students all get along in the school in which no person ever feels left out. But most of all the teachers are the best part of the school. They make every students days much easier and full of enjoyment. In the amount of schools I have been to, I have never been so engaged and eager to learn in each class throughout the day.

I would like to see academics treated as well as athletics are. Not everything in your future is dependent on how athletic you are. Some people don't have a future in athletics, and it's ridiculous to treat athletics like a priority.

There are many extracurriculars to participate in considering the small size of Sioux Valley. There often is a great number of students who participate in all of the extracurriculars, not athletics alone. Sioux Valley offers a little of just about everything: fine arts, athletics, clubs and organizations. The school as a whole is very supportive of all the extracurriculars.
