My daughter has been extremely lucky to have had the opportunity to complete her 9th grade frm an outstanding school MVA! As she moves to grade 10 in MVA ,I would like to compliment Mr Heager and his entire team for their commitment and dedication towards providing quality education. May MVA always excel and reach greater heights. Best wishes Dipika

I knew from the start that this was the right school for my daughter! The principal and teachers go above and beyond to ensure each student lives up to their potential. The principal personally greets students as they enter the building each day, and knows every student by name which is a nice personal and professional touch!

The quality of academic programs offered at MVA are diverse and challenging. The school offers extra tutoring for students that need the help(it's a requrement!) They keep the parents well informed of their child's progress and needs. There are not many sport activities available, and the gym situation is tough. All in all it is a wonderful place. The teachers are first rate and the principal is a no nonsense yet kind and caring individual. This school has it all!!!

About the tests


In 2011-2012 New York used the New York State Regents Examinations to test high school students in English, math, global history and geography, US history and government, living environment, chemistry, Earth science and physics. Students must take at least five Regents Exams in order to graduate. Scores of 65 and above are passing; scores of 55 and above earn credit toward a local diploma (with the approval of the local board of education). The goal is for all students to pass the tests.
