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.

Im a senior and I've been going to Kankakee Valley my entire life, it is a very safe school and the teachers care deeply about the students that attend. There are many different clubs to be involved in along with electives that will help with what you want to do once you graduate. The only thing I would like to see change at the school are the bathrooms, they are very outdated and are starting to wear down and definitely need an upgrade, at least for the girls bathrooms, I cant speak for the boys. But overall I have had very positive experience here and I will be sad to leave in 2025.

I had a good experience with Kankakee Valley High School. The teachers and administrators were all extremely nice and supportive. I wish there were more diversity, although this facility is located in a small rural area. I also wish there were more preparation for SAT or ACT because I think students can benefit more from it.

No matter what you hear from others, I love this school. The teachers care about the students education and they are so engaging! The bullying has gotten down, and we were rated a 4 star school by the state, the best there is! There is an anonymous tip line for reporting bad behavior, but the other...

A school with an "anti" bullying campaign doesn't take a hard look at the staff members and see who the bully really is. After having many issues with a particular teacher, I was sent to the main principal, after 3 weeks of waiting. The principal over looked all the other students complaints and min...
