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.

This area teaches people how to be professional criminals. They learn how to cheat, fraud, steal and cover it up. They learn that misconduct is the proper way to deal with crimes committed by friends and family. They are a clan of individuals who have no merit, only undeserved inheritance.

Quaker Vally is a great smaller high school. Plenty of activities and athletes to join. Hoping for a new building soon as our building is over 100 years old.

I attended Quaker Valley K-12 and loved it. There was small class sizes, we knew all of our teachers and the amount of APs offered really prepared my for college. I had the opportunity to start taking college credit classes at Pitt during my sophomore year and was able to graduate college a full year ahead of schedule. I also loved that QV is small enough that you don't have to be pigeon-holed into choosing one activity; I played sports, was in theater and worked on the yearbook- it gave me the opportunity to try and to do a lot of things.
