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.

ValVista Academy is a place that truly tries to be there for your child in their each unique way. My son has benefited in many different ways. The one I'd like to highlight is their I.E.P program and their system to test your child. It is very thorough. They keep you as the parent very much involved and aware of the process. One thing I'd like to see change is their lunch programs. They offer no type of assistance for single parent households. Or children that qualify for discount lunches.

If I could give 0 stars, I would. My daughter went there prior to COVID. She had a lot of anxiety and was easily bullied. Instead of teaching the kids to not bully they encouraged her to talk about her struggles to her peers in order to help students find compassion; they bullied her for that too. T...
