Valparaiso has been a great high school overall. Academics have always been abundant in my possibilities and choices. Whether it be from orchestra or calculus, Valparaiso has a vast variety of educational pathways available to all students.
One thing Valparaiso lacks is diversity. That is not necessarily something that can be faulted by the administrators. Historically Valparaiso has lacked diversity.
However, it must be noted that despite this, inclusion of the LGBTQ community has been stellar. Many member a of the LGBTQ community are enrolled at Valparaiso High School and have been able to be embraced by the student body. It is very promising to see this given that there seems to be so much hatred in the United States today.

Valparaiso has overall been a terrific experience as far as expanding my education. The diversity of classes available can enhance any students ability to prepare for life after high school. Whether it be going to college or finding a career in trades, Valparaiso High School has opportunities available for everyone.
Valparaiso Community Schools are top in Northwest Indiana for education. From the elementary schools up to the high school, these schools offer so much for the students that attend. Their academics programs are wonderful and really help the students excel in all their learning. The teachers work very hard to accommodate all students, whether online or in person. The VCS also offer a huge variety of clubs and activities. Any student, if they want, can find something to participate and thrive in. The sports programs in Valparaiso Schools are amazing and offer youth many avenues to improve and show case their talents. The schools are very safe and the administration provides great communication with the parents and families to make sure all are informed of protocols. VCS also has wonderful Art and Music programs. My children have benefited from the wealth of knowledge of many of the musical talents in the schools. They also have a great STEAM program throughout all the schools.
