The school infrastructure is in bad repair. The gym and theater are in poor condition and completely inadequate for the needs of the student body. The majority of the classrooms are "portables" that have been in use for decades without proper maintenance. The brick and mortar sections of the school also leave much to be desired. There is an above average football stadium on campus if that sort of thing is important to your child. Other than that, this is an eyesore in a community already lacking in aesthetic features.

I would rate this a 4 out of 5 because there are some things that need to be fixed.

Even though AVHS is a public high school, the truly caring staff, very helpful counselors, excellent teachers, devoted sports coaches, spirited students and the approachable administration contribute to the warm "family feel" of an otherwise large establishment. The academic and extracurricular opportunities are limitless and each student can find his or her own niche easily. I always had ambitious dreams for my children and had planned on giving them an "elite" private school education "down the hill". But what I discovered is that my children can get an equally excellent and more importantly, well-rounded and challenging education right here in the high desert without an "elitist" price tag . Thank you AVHS for your high quality of support and standards!

Outstanding school! Caring teachers, after school tutoring and club activities. A full offering of classes from advanced placement to remedial for those who need the help. VERY rarely are there fights, so disregard the previous review by the student. Any one interested can check the statistics!

Apple was an ok school its a big school there are fights regularly some teachers cared but to me most didnt it seemed like they hated their jobs and didnt want to take time out to really teach us well hopefully this helps parents out there thinking about apple valley high school as a possible school for their child.

Had one graduate last year and I have a current freshman at A.V.H.S., staff has been dedicated and always willing to help with any academic issues. All the teachers have communicated their expectations and coursework when I emailed them at the beginning of the school year and told me I could call or email them at anytime. I even had one teacher offer to have my student come to class early for a particular subject they struggled in early in the year to get them up to par. Older student was accepted into several Universities that they applied for and is currently in College. Very happy with A.V.H.S.! Note: I do think that parents need to be involved and stay on their student, pay attention to what's going on with their students grades and lives. Check frequently online as it is updated weekly, you can see grades, attendence and tardies all online! No excuse Mom and Dad. A Father who cares!
