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 have gone to South Valley Academy for 6 years now and this year will be my last . I feel like I have been prepared for college and overall academic achievement. The teachers are very good and they will help you succeed . Since classes are smaller, they put more attention to your needs. The only bad part of my experience been that we don't have as much school spirit and do very much activities as a school , but that's mostly because the students don't want to participate. Other than that it's a good school.

Overall I feel like south valley academy would definitely benefit from new directors and governing council. I feel that this school is struggling with issues that aren't relevant to education and that negatively impacts student learning.

The children do not know how to be friends or kind to one another especially the girls, which seems a product of homelife brought to school. The school is without a counselor that could maybe improve the situation. The Principal is aware of the toxicity of the children in the school but is without s...

I was a student at this school not only did it not prepare for college, it is also one of the worst school environments ever. The fact that you cannot select you're classes is a joke the material taught is very narrow and the IMP math system is the reason may kids from this school can not do basic m...
