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 great. You learn a lot and it's a great experience. You learn how to think and analyze very well.

I was transferred to this school this year. I liked it at first, uncomfy but i thought I could get used to it. The academics are amazing, I love it so much. But it leaves me burnt out when I'm done and leaves no time for my hobbies at all. I would like to state that if you have a queer child, best to not send them here. Very conservative, a lot of the students are trump supporters and anti-lgbtq. My mental health has been rock bottom ever since I've been sent here and now I have to go to therapy and take what could be years to get to my original state again. Thanks, gvca, for this WONDERFUL (sarcastic) experience. It takes a certain type of person to be here.

Golden View sticks to its values in every aspect from sports to recess to curriculum. The curriculum is tied through every subject so if they are studying my ancient India in history then it's ancient India writing and art and music too. Reading and math courses are excellent and the K-12 nature encourages so many amazing dynamic interactions.

My family has been at the school since it started in 2015 and let's just say we stirred and sold the GVCA Kool-Aide for years.

My kids transferred here from a 'highly rated' public school in 2020. I'm so grateful they got in and we have not looked back once. I was worried about the rigor for my younger child, but she went from not being able to read as a 7 year-old at the public school, to reading at Golden View within two...

I am an eighth grader at this school, this is my first year! First off I must say that the schools I have been to over the years have been not great, so I have pretty low standards. The education at this school is much better than any I've ever seen. The students (for the most part, BEWARE EIGHTH GR...

We have been at the school since its inception in 2015. We started with a child in one of the lower grades at GVCA and have had several children attend both Grammer and Upper School. I believe any parent considering this school needs to understand that the children who attend are expected to fit a p...
