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.

Saucon valley high school is a close and pleasant community. It is a small school located in Hellertown Pennsylvania. Resources are provided and teachers are nice.

The teachers really care and try to help you the entire time you are there. I personally was apart of saucon valley school district since kindergarten and I had so good and bad experiences. Overall though the teachers always work with you if you are struggling. A negative though is during my 4 years of high school we changed administration every year. It was unstable and there were constant changes especially with our schedule.

The HS Counselor is a joke. She obviously hates her job. She does not return phone calls at all, or emails in a timely manner. SHE IS EXTREMELY UNPROFESSIONAL. School system went downhill real fast these past 4 years.

School board qualifications should be higher. These people only need to be a resident of 1 year and to be at least 18 years of age. That's it! They do not listen. They fate of our children is placed in their hands! Reread their qualifications.They disrespect the tax payer by dismissing your concerns...
