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.

At Conestoga Valley High School, people focus so much on having diversity and promoting it, that it feels like to be white is the minority. Most teachers are so nice, and you can tell they want you as a student to thrive. It feels like most of the students at CV don't care about school, so the ones that do care don't always get the best education because there's a lot of behavioral problems.

I have been in CV my whole life and loved it. I have made some many connections with teachers, staff, and fellow classmates. I have also grown as an individual and CV is a big part of that.

Our school offers a lot of classes and trys to accommodate everyone's academic needs. they care about your future and have good involvement with the students, and school athletics but they could communicate more about certain things within the school.

She is the only National Merit Scholarship Finalist from CV this year, but no faculty member, certainly no...

Mediocre. Perhaps I have no right to complain because at least I have received an adequate education, unlike students in poorer areas who are frankly treated as disposable and fed to the school-to-prison pipeline, but I think a school ought to hold its bar of excellence higher than that. The extracu...

My daughter is a gifted student who attended Conestoga Valley up until last year, I finally had enough of banging my head against the wall to get the school to acknowledge her GIEP, and pulled her out last spring and entered a cyber school. Unfortunately the Conestoga Valley School District is still...
