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.

the best part that I've had in Blue Valley was when I was able to be confident and they have shown me that I can be the best person I can be. The games that I've gone to were some of my best experiences because the students are able to cheer on the players and have the confidence to hype the players up no matter if we were losing or winning. The education in Blue Valley is one of the best in the nation because they value their student's education and their susses. the one bad part about Blue Valley is that when the students want a change to the school they don't here what we're saying.

Blue Valley High School was a very good experience given to me, my twin sister, and my older brother. BVHS has one of the best band programs and has one of the best "family" style students and faculty. While everything wasn't perfect, the school itself was amazing, and was an amazing high school experience.

I definitely grew quite a bit throughout my high school years. The teachers were very inviting and wanted to help you. There were many different clubs to get involved in, and I loved having all of the opportunities. Being so involved in music, it was a little disappointing on the administration side of things with funding, and my sister is not able to compete in a National Show Choir competition because there is not enough money.

We are fairly new to the district, we are truly blown away by the content and character of the teachers and students. Very welcoming and engaging place to be - we are not from the US and we have found the Blue Valley High School to be above anything we have seen.

My son has struggled academically and this spilled over into him not wanting to attend school at all. Blue Valley High School does not want a tarnish on their attendance or test records and prefer to ignore kids that do not fit into their perfect little world. My son has received no help and is now...
