I am currently a student at Valhalla, and I absolutely love it. The schools provides a highly academic setting for me, as well as fantastic extracurricular activities to join. Not to mention that the teachers go the extra mile in ensuring we understand the material they are instructing. I will definitely miss this school after graduation! Love you Valhalla!!

Starting Junior year this fall, our family has loved this school for our student. However the year ended on a sour note with lots of "Money Talks", Students take a walk in the band program. The big, bad, ugly world reared its' head high and took a big bite out of the kids and what is fair and right.....

This is an excellent school. Before coming to Valhalla, my son always struggled with his grades so I was worried about how he would do taking "College Prep" classes. His teachers were understanding and supportive and worked with him to find his potential. Valhalla also offers lots of after school sports and activities that help the students to get involved in the school.

I am a student at Valhalla and I think it is a great school, it is a safe and you rarely hear about fights or drugs on campus, ever. The teachers are wonderful too and are always doing what will help fit our schedule. We have a new program to help the disabled students and get us involved with working with them as buddies. We all work together to get them into fun activites that don't single them out. The lunches are good and there are several windows so there isn't just one big line. Over all it is a wonderful school.

My son has attended this school for the last three years, he simply loves it. As a parent I have been pleased with the teaching staff. He is been pretty much involved with the sports and ASB, the quality of the student is very commendable

My daughter has attended this school for the last two years, and I am very pleased with it overall. As many other people have mentioned there is a lot of extracuricalar activities, and the school is very safe and relatively problem free. The teaching is very good overall, but some of the teachers have a tendency not teach the material covered in the exams causing a very high percentage of students in certain classes to do poorly. I also find the amonut of homework my duaghter is expected to do in some of her AP classes to be a bit excessive. I believe AP classes should focus more on critical thinking than just throwing extra work at them. Overall it is geared towards students who are academic acheivers and is probably one of the best schools in the district for students that meet that profile.
