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.

Out of the 12/13 other schools I've attended in 2 states, Pequea Valley has been one of the better schools I've had the pleasure of attending. Although it's a small school and not very diverse, the support from facilitators and supporting staff is unmatched. They support and listen to the student body and keep our best interests in mind. They also have a nice variety of clubs, sports, and arts programs to choose from.

Most of the teachers seem to really enjoy what they do, and the extracurricular programs are plentiful. I do, however, feel that the majority of administration fails to understand children on a sufficient level. A good choice in classes is something I also found to be lacking.

The schools health and safety is pretty good. I think they should have an unarmed security guard just so some of the students don't act stuck up and cocky and think that they can get away with things that they aren't supposed to do. Other then security, everything else is good.

PV school district is all talk and appearance and fails the students in the classroom. Teachers use purchased online curriculum and "packets" rather than teaching, the coursework is routine busywork and not engaging, and the students are not prepared when they enter college. The administration is mu...

Disgraceful at best, for parents and students who desire to learn and excel stay away. I’ve never seen such a lack of teachers who take their job seriously instead of just a paycheck.
