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.

Valparaiso High School is a good school. It offers many different and unique classes in a wide variety of subjects. The teachers are passionate, and the staff members are friendly. However, I am not a fan of how the budget is distributed between sports teams and music/art programs. I would like to see the school put more funding into the music and art programs so the students have the resources and tools they need to achieve high levels of success.

Overall the school is pretty good. There are a lot of classes you can take and they help you prepare for college a lot. Some of the teachers aren't the greatest but overall the school is pretty good.

I went to four school districts in my lifetime and this was by far the most balanced education I received. I felt the teachers cared and the ability to get involved in whatever you wanted was unmatched. The school is beautiful with a ton of great amenities.
