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 really did like my high school experience here, I do not think I could have asked for a better high school experience.

River Valley High is very similar to the clicks of every high school. Sadly this high school was not much different, there was/is a drug issue usually involving vaping, the sports were great when I attended and were held to the same standards as every other student. Music was a big part of my career there and it was the best. I loved most of my teachers and felt like they would be there for me when needed.

It is nice and good. They have a clean environment. They have a good way of having different classes for different students. They also give many opportunities to have electives and complete A-G.

Terrible teachers,staff,and administration. Only few teachers care most just spend their time protesting when they don't do any work administration does not care about the students and they are very rude to kids unless the kids parents are there.

My son is a student at the River Valley High School in Yuba City, California. I'm disabled and have not been able to help my son in athletic or academic events as a parent normally would due to my physical limitations and medications. Lucky for me some of his friends parents and coaches have helped...

I graduated from RV in 2012 and let me warn you the teachers will only pick a couple students they really will help and leave the rest of you to fend for yourselves and don't get me started about the band program. Overall I would go to either Yuba City or Sutter High school.
