It's a fairly good school, traffic could be better. We've got a good amount of sports teams and they have a fairly good records.

It has made me academically motivated through challenging myself in each subject, but the teachers and staff are very involved in creating a better environment each day. There is plenty of diversity and acceptance throughout the school. Sometimes, coursework does come with much rigor.

Blue Valley West in terms of academics is a great school with good teachers that prepare you for everything. Sports teams are alright and the facilities are actually pretty impressive. The administration is a little bit too strict at times however this is an overall great school

Your child will not receive any individual attention and if you are not very well off financially they will have difficulty making friends or p...

in this school the academics and staff are exponential. by far the best with athletics and academics out of any school I've been to. the only problem is the students. just about everyone there is super rich and if you don't have the newest things you'll be judged. I honestly hate the people in this...
