Valley View High School

I am a Vally View graduate and now my son is a freshman. I am very excited to have him going to the same school I did. Valley View has always been a tough school on academics and discipline. There are always a few teachers and/ or staff that have lost their enthusiasm for doing their job but as a whole their are so excellent people at Valley View. Most want to see your child succeed. I believe the senior projects and portfolios are preparing students for college. Term papers are ususally a huge portion of their grade and they won't pass the class if not completed or their College Thesis. So hopefully your student rises to the challenge and graduates from Valley and goes on to College. Don't forget parents you are the biggest influence in your childs life and if you think it's too hard so will they!

This school has teachers there that are so old they should not be teaching. Teachers refuse to try different ways to teach students. It is either the student gets it and if not lets keep going. The admin will not help students until it is too late to bring up grades even after parents have asked for help. My son was a freshman and I am transfering him to another school. Also the portfolio and senior project is just another area where teachers can degrade students who have trouble with writing. My son's first english teacher put him down enfront of all the students in his class. Wow that helps students learn. I would not choose this school for any child not an AP student.

I transferred from Vista Del Lago to here, and wow is there a difference! The teachers are great. The only disadvantage of this school is its age. A lot of the door handles broken, but its cool with me.

Excellent school for those of you entering Honors and AP, the teachers are very much involved and will make it a point to help you reach your goal. I graduated last year and really had a great experience from classes to extracurricular activities, it was all awesome.

Valley View is as good as the parrents,teachers and students. My daughter is doing great there and my son is failing a few classes. Some of it is partly his fault, partly the teachers fault, and partly my fault. I have had a few issues with some of his teachers and the principle has tried to help but the teacher who sent my son out of class for asking his teacher to explain the instructions again has not called my back. I am so surprised to see such low rating for our schools here in Moreno Valley. I had no idea how bad it was when i moved here 18 years ago. The worst schools in orange are much better then our best schools. Shamefull

The quality of the academic programs is great; individual student motivation and parent participation is lacking, largely due to extended commutes. VVHS has outstanding extracurricular activities, so encourage your child to get involved! What can I say... my spouse has been volunteering at VVHS for more than 17-years! Yes, volunteering. More parents need to try this, the rewards are positive interactions with several gifted and talented students.
