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.

I am so grateful for my time at Vail Academy & High School. I started as an 7th grader when Vail opened as an K-12 and graduated as a senior. The school was a uniquely welcoming place. It gave me the chance to figure out who I am and fostered close relationships that I treasure to this day.

There is no sport at this school. The teachers attitudes are terrible when trying to explain to them how you do not understand a topic.
