Spring Valley High School Reviews
Rating 3.99 out of 5 528 reviews
All in all, I loved my experience at Spring Valley. The school has given me the opportunity to create new bonds, be offered different opportunities that will help me in the future, etc. Not only do the faculty and staff prioritize the students overall education, but they also prioritize mental health. My only concerns were the school bathrooms. They were a bit dirty but I think that could change. I also think we should have more school held events for the students such as pep rallies!
Spring Valley is undeniably a remarkable high school, distinguished by its dedicated teachers who genuinely care about their student's well-being and academic growth. This institution has cultivated an environment where learning flourishes, and students are provided with an exceptional educational experience.
The faculty at Spring Valley goes above and beyond to ensure that students receive the support they need to succeed. Their commitment to education is evident in their approachable nature, willingness to offer guidance, and genuine concern for each student's progress. They invest time in getting to know their students as individuals, recognizing their strengths and weaknesses, and tailoring their teaching strategies accordingly. Moreover, Spring Valley stands out for fostering community and belonging among its student body.

I enjoy going to Spring Valley High School. Although it is not perfect, I think I have gotten the most out of it over the past four years. However, your experience at Spring Valley (SV) is strictly based on the courses you take. The students you are involved with, the teachers you have, and the quality of education are very dependent upon this. This is definitely a downside to SV, but it is also a student's responsibility in which courses they take. SV has many extracurricular activities and school events. However, our student body is not as involved as others due to student's lack of school spirit. For example, during spirit weeks, only a small percentage of students will participate in the dress-up days as well as the activities. While SV is strong in their activities, clubs, and sports involvement, they are very weak in their study body involvement in school spirit. Overall, I enjoy attending SV and believe it is one of the better high schools in the district.
