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.

Throughout my three years at Medina Valley High School, I have noticed both good and bad things about the school. The best part about the school is the dual credit classes offered for free, this helps us to both get ready for college and to save money. The bad parts about Medina Valley High School is some of the teachers. Not only have I had, but have also heard about bad teachers from other students. Little action has been taken by the school to fix these complaints.
