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.

The best part of SVHS was how safe we felt, and the teachers do seem to care. The teachers are really good and do care about academics. It is a really good high-school, just a little tacky.

Silver Valley High School would be the main option for a student when having to move to the Yermo, CA or Barstow, CA area due to military orders, which is my case. My experience at Silver Valley was phenomenal and I would do it all over again.

Silver Valley is a small school. It can be a bit boring but it does grow on you. I believe the conditions could be better but there's only so much you can do for a small school. The best thing about the Silver Valley is the community. It's small enough to where everyone kind of knows each other. It forms a type of camaraderie amongst the students and staff that is rare in bigger schools.

I was very nervous about sending my kids to this school at first. We were stationed at Fort Irwin, so this was pretty much the only option. Having friends who were employed at a neighboring school, I knew the Barstow area was not the best. However, I was pleasantly surprised. My kids had a good educ...

There is no little trace of order and system. Discipline is also missing. Due to the fact that teachers don't care about their students accept for a few.
