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.

It's getting better as the school gets older and starts to get used to the new building and build a community. Admin takes IB way to seriously and forces it on students who do not want to take it then get upset when they do not preform as well as they wanted them to. Lots of useful resources, access to after school events and activities, decent sports.

I have enjoyed the teachers at Seneca Valley, they care about their jobs very much and about the students that they teach. However, I feel the administration at Senecea does not listen to their students and ignores what they have to say regarding policies that directly affect them as students.

So far I have really loved my time at Seneca Valley. The teachers are so nice, I'm always learning something new, the building is kept after well, and the multiple different opportunities are endless. Being at such a big school can be scary and intimidating at first, but once you get used to it you really enjoy it.
