The teachers and in-school administrators are great. You really do feel like they care about all of the students at the school. There's definitely a culture of inclusivity but nothing over the top. Scheduling and class selection are fantastic--something you won't get at a larger school.
Athletics are above-average. Winning culture in most sports and coaches have a winning mentality, and somehow there are a lot of exceptional athletes in a smalls school. (football not withstanding) QV made the WPIAL playoffs in almost all sports, won several WPIAL championships, and even had some individual and team state champions.
Reason for 4 stars instead of 5: The facilities! School is like 500 years old and the community can't band together to allow the new bldg to be built. People are worried their high school kids can't drive up and down a hill (that 25% of HS drivers already drive).

To start with the positives, the college prep is amazing along with teaching faculty. Almost all the teachers are heavily involved with students and work overtime to make sure everyone is taken care of. Classes are relatively small which works great for one on one learning. Now for the negative: some how with all the school district’s money, not a penny seems to go into building upkeep or sports. Routinely AC will break, leaks will drip in the hallways, bathrooms will be out of use, and the ceiling tiles will be missing. When it comes to sports unless you’re a football or soccer player, you will never see a cent of school funding. Quaker Valley also has a habit of thinking everyone else is rich. This years prom tickets were $80. Varsity jackets cost $200 dollars. Income disparity is very prevalent in this district. Communication between the school and parents is extremely poor. If there is a bomb or shooting threat almost no one knows about it.
I really like how much the teachers care about their students and the overall friendly staff. Anytime I’ve ever had to make up work or needed to meet outside of class the teachers have always been there. They genuinely care about wanting their students to succeed and will take the extra time in order to do so. Something I’d like to see change is the building itself, as it’s quiet old and is no longer in its prime.
