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 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.

Sioux Valley is a pretty good place. Like all schools it has its cons, but I feel the pros come in the strongest. We have a great teachers and staff that make the learning environment safe, fun, and educational. We have athletics and other activities that allows students to explore new things and get out their. It teaches us great time management skills with all the practices, games, and performances along with the school work load.
