My experience at Golden Valley is that some teachers do not know how to teach, and for the most part I had a good high school experience. The best thing about high school is my friends, because they help me so much through high school, like when I have a lack of motivation and they just know how to make me feel better. Also, My worst part of my high school was when I had really bad panic attacks and I didn't tell my family but only this one girl in my seventh period and she helped me a lot and we would just talk, but it did get better and now I don't get panic attacks. But what i would like to see change in school is teachers actually caring about what they do and know how to teach because my school took away phone like you can't be on your phone during school, and now I actually pay attention, but there was this one teacher and she didn't know how to teach because the class was failing too but I did pass with a B+ the last semester, so thats what I would want to change.

The best parts of the school are definitely going to sport events it is really fun. There are also some pretty good teachers that will help you a lot. Although there are also teachers who Saratoga your education by being off hands and/or picking favorite students and only helping them.

This school is a great place and I would recommend people to come here because the teachers are nice and are enthusiastic about teaching and learning new things from and to students. The campus is not big but there are some nice people if they are out there. Overall it is a pretty safe environment you can stay comfortable at. The students here are mature enough to realize the school's policy and can be good students. The worst experience that I have experienced was not much other than being afraid of the school bathrooms when going for a number 2 especially. The best parts are the people that you know or hangout with. The changes I would like to see is the more privacy they would give us in the bathrooms.

This is an amazing campus to work at. I feel supported by both administration and parents, which is not always the case at other schools. I have some of the best kids in the district in my classes and for the most part, they all work hard and do their best. This is a wonderful school!!!
