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.

Villa Park High School is a very good overall school. I was able to make a lot of memories there and it prepared me very well for college. I would love to see the campus change in the future because many of the facilities are outdated.

I love the educational opportunities of the school. I felt that the teachers gave a safe learning environment. I learned a lot throughout my years at Villa Park High School. My only concern was that the campus was not as clean as I would like it to be. I felt that the bathrooms always smelled bad and had tons of trash every where.

I went to Villa Park High School for all 4 years, freshman to senior. I enjoyed my time there. The teachers that I had, and also the environment as well made it a fun and exciting place to learn and grow in my education. I got to learn more about my future dream career and experienced several extracurriculars as well. Villa Park High School not only has an amazing education field but also excellent sports and programs across campus. I will always cherish close to heart of my time there, and I'm grateful that I was able to be a part of such an awesome community.
