Valley Christian is an overall very good school. Academics and core curriculum are strong and supported by good teachers. There is some disconnect between students, parents and administration that needs to be worked on, but isn't an urgent issue.

I think this school has a strong sense of faith and community as a Christian school. I've met many different people of varying faiths wether it be students or the teachers. Teachers at my school are all passionate and put their heart into their job and I can feel it through my education.

My time at Valley Christian was overall an enjoyable experience. I am forever grateful for the amazing teachers that taught me these past 4 years. The staff are super passionate about their subjects and they really embody their love for academics; as well as their strong commitment to the lord and their students. I've learned so much in terms of academics but also in terms of life and my faith as I studied at Valley Christian.

I could not be happier with our decision to move here. They focus on mental health, host parent nights to e...

Valley Christian is exactly where "Friday Nigh Lights" and "Silicon Valley" meet. Some call it "Public School with Bibles." To me it feels like Texas. If that's what you want out of a high school experience , then this is possibly your school. I just can't find the hyper glorification of football pl...

As a current student who has seen the high and lows of this school, I would strongly recommend this school for others.**Homework**The homework is highly manageable and would be as you should expect from higher or lower level classes. AP courses have more course assignments/homework, whilst regular o...
