Ralston Valley High School is exceptional! The principal is amazing and has a great relationship with all the students. Challenging curriculum and students are very prepared to go on to college. Would recommend Ralston Valley to anyone looking for an excellent school for their children.
I have two children that graduated from RV and they are as different as night to day. My oldest received a full tuition academic scholarship from a prestigious private university. My second a full ride sports scholarship from D-1 University. I attribute both of their successes to the leadership from the admisitration and some of the best teachers in the state. They encouraged growth and pushed both my kids to their full potential. I have read a few negative reviews from other parents, and as an involved parent myself, I can say that most students who don't succeed there, usually have troubles due to lack of motivation and parental support, not a lack of teacher initiative.
Ralston Valley offers all of the opportunities for one to challenger his/herself. If a student does not receive enought homework, then the level of his/her classes should be raised. The cirriculum is very rigorous if one takes advantage of the difficult classes offered. The teachers are usually available and willing to help their students succeed.
I disagree with some of the other reviewers, my child does not have a lot of homework and he is taking mostly AP classes. But, I will be honest my student is bright. Athletics are important at this school and as in most schools football is considered the cool sport. RVHS has a great music program-both instrument and voice. Campus is beautiful and students seem to be respectful of it. The kids who I see having problems are from some of the medicore private schools in the area. I think ther parents thought their children were gettting a better education then they really were. Kids from the local charters seem to do okay. This is not a diverse school. Most students are caucasion from middle class families.
