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.

Best high school in the area. Lots of funding for football team, almost too much. School is somewhat up to date. Decent teachers, lots of classes to choose from. Block scheduling.

Solid school but guidance group could use tech enhancements and the focus on football seems to trump other consideration. A reasonable balance should be maintained in all sports and academic clubs.

Central Valley High School is a great school. There are many teachers who care and will help you with homework. I like this school because you get to pick which classes you want, but you still have to take required courses. This school has an amazing football field and team. We have many athletics to choose from including track, football, tennis, swimming, and more. We also have a cyber course for the students.

Terrible schools. Political hires that do not prepare children for college. FAR too many students on the "honor rolls". Will end up like Aliquippa.
