Our kids attended another school in PG and were very unhappy. There was no communication between educators, adminstrator and parents. We moved to the VV boundries and absolutely love Valley View. The office knows each student and they are very nice. The principal is easy to talk to and get a hold of. The whole staff is really great. We love Valley View.

Our children attended another school but we are physically closer to Valley View and the other school has had significant issues with the principal/teacher dynamic though at this point the school has received a new principal. We have had out 4th grader at Valley View and could not be happier. The teachers care and the staff are wonderful. The principal is wonderful and he is loved by the kids.

I find Valley View to be a great nurturing environment for my children. I have 4 children that have gone there. They have had excellent instruction and great opportunities. It is the Districts 'best kept secret'.

About the tests


In 2009-2010 Utah used the Utah Criterion-Referenced Test (CRT) to test students in grades 1 through 11 in language arts, in grades 1 through 7 in math, in grades 4 through 9 in science and upon completion of certain courses in grades 8 through 11. The results displayed on GreatSchools profiles are for all grades combined for each subject. The CRT is a standards-based testing program, which means it measures specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Utah. The goal is for all students to score at or above the proficient level.
