It’s a Great School. My last child is in his Jr yr and has enjoyed every year there. The teachers and staff are great, the location is perfect. Sports events are a time for families to be involved.

Currently have one child at GVHS with another who will be starting this fall. School has a huge list of AP classes available for students, and is one of the only schools in Clark County with an IB program. Have found most teachers to be excellent, with one noteworthy exception that is no longer employed by CCSD (thankfully). As the parent of a two sport, varsity athlete that is also heavily involved in the performing arts program, I can also say the extracurricular programs here are outstanding. In particular, GVHS deserves special credit for supporting their performing arts programs with the same level of seriousness as their athletic programs. My child sometimes has conflicts between athletic and choir commitments, and there is no pressure to choose one over the other. Principal Roberts is an effective leader who not only works hard to support the safety and academic achievement of the students, but also strongly supports ALL of the extracurricular activities offered by the school, whether they involve athletics or the arts.

I couldn't be happier. Great students, great teachers, great administration and the best extra curricular programs in the valley.

Pros: The school has a great reputation. Great sense of community and school pride. Very inclusive learning environment. Successful school. Doing many things right. Cons: The office receptionist and Athletic Director secretary are unfriendly, slightly abrasive, and rude. I was offended by the way I was treated attempting to turn in paperwork and pay class fees. All other interactions have been positive. Grateful to live in the neighborhood and for my kids attending GVHS.

This school recently changed principals, and in turn a lot of the staff moved schools. The staff they have in place now is iffy. I wouldn't recommend this school if you are moving from out of town, especially if you're from a place where people are nice. Students are mean, and teachers and administration pick favorites and pick on kids that they don't like, specifically if they are new. So far, I'm having a terrible year here at this school. One of the girls that was new this year switched schools about a month after school started because she was having such a terrible time. There are scattered teachers that are good, especially if you are in AP classes, but there are some that try to act like they know what's best for your future and try to tell you what to do. As well as, there is an extremely strict dress code, and if your sleeves are a centimeter smaller than three inches, you're forced to wear one of their shirts for the day, and they confiscate your shirt. If you get a second offense, you get suspended. I'm glad to say that I will only be spending a year, if that, at this school, and will be extremely pleased to get out of Green Valley.

To the last reviewer who gave the school one star, you are the only one star here and you know why ? because the school is great ! the fact that your kid didnt get in, is no reason to rate the school at one star, i am sorry, but grades DO matter ! good schools always have an entrance exam or min gpa requirement, like colleges and universities mind you, there you cant get in with a bad GPA either.

I have 2 children that have or are attending GVHS currently. I have lived in Henderson for 30 years and Green Valley has always ranked as the top school. Coronado and Foothill are excellent schools as well but don't have the parent/teacher relationship nor music; arts; sports and academic commitment that GVHS has. Parent involvement; sports; student government; school activities are important to our family and Green Valley delivers on all Fronts. Our son's have been able to travel with the school to the Macy's Day parade; Perform at Carnegie Hall; Obama Inauguration; Compete for State Titles in Baseball; Swimming; Diving. Jeff Horn is an amazing, caring, compassionate educator. I am looking to move to Memphis for work and the school and surrounding neighborhood are important to me as a parent. Green Valley neighborhood is nationally ranked as a city for their Parks and Recreation. Little League; Lacrosse; BMX and Skateboard parks; 15 minutes from the Airport; 10 minutes from Malls; Retail; Grocery stores; minutes from the Interstate; Golf course; If you can think of an amenity; Green Valley has it and the High School is at the Epicenter. GO GATORS!!!!!

This school has a very good reputation, so much so that we are doing our best to stay in the area so our child will be in this high school. I work at an apartment complex and there are people who have moved from out of state so that their children could attend this school.

Green Valley is a excellent school. I have been very impressed by the academics and extracurricular activities available. The AP/IB programs have very high expectations. The teachers have been very supportive and helpful in my child's success. The volleyball and debate teams are incredible. I would highly recommend this school.

My son started his freshman year at GVHS after moving from New Jersey. I was extremely worried after reading so many horrible stories about the schools out here. I have to say I have been completely surprised to find out how great Green Valley is, my son is doing awesome in all aspects from academics to sports. The teachers are wonderful and always ready to help if needed. I only spoke to the principle once and he called me the next day with an answer to my question.

This school is absolutely terrific! The teachers and staff are outstanding. Of course, it's a large public school so there are going to be some students who we parents would rather not see there but they really manage it well and it is safe and surprisingly clean. I've made time to personally meet the teachers and it's obvious they really care. The school has been recognized by Newsweek for its' academics, by Sports Illustrated for its' athletics, the band has been invited to China and performed in the Macy's parade, the speech team has gone to State every year for over a decade and the music program has received an Grammy! What more needs to be said? If you care about and take at least some responsibility for your kids' education, this is the best school in town.

Green Valley High School was a fine school in its day. Still a pretty good school. Very, very crowded now though. Teachers, with a few exceptions, are above par. Staff, with a few exceptions, are very good. Didn't suit our child. Chose to withdraw.
