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 loved going to Wayne Valley. I feel very prepared for college. I was involved in cheer and competive cheer which I enjoyed. My teachers were either very good or excellent. I really didn't have any bad experiences. I am biracial and Wayne Valley is predominantly white but it is getting more diversified. I feel lucky to have gone to Wayne Valley.
