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 like West Valley, the teachers are always what I would hope for a teacher. They all have different personalities and you know that they put you first. They are one of the best parts about the school. The worst parts about West Valley would be the school spirit at times, some kids don't participate and I wish that would change.

I had a good experience with West Valley, but I think It depends on what kind of student you are. The advanced classes are way better quality than the normal ones.
