My son is doing very well. The teachers reach out if they have any concerns.

Teachers are caring for their students. The school is very safe. There is great teacher and parent communication. I am very happy my son is attending VCHS.

Parents clearly do not understand what is happening in the internal workings of the school. When I attended, faculty failed to send us the bus information multiple times. I had to talk with the driver and have them radio the school to confirm the situation. Additionally, we had to fight to get myself into certain classes because the school refused to respond to us. Multiple emails had been sent out just to continue to be neglected. After I left, my sibling is stuck in that awful district. Apparently there are now fights on a daily basis, a student got their hair ripped out today. Faculty are failing to prevent the issue and protect their students. Students are not encouraged and unless you are a golden apple of academics you will be ignored without help. Do not go here.

School cares more about salaries then kids, parents have to constantly fight to get information and they have denied children food if their account is low

The Counselors are a bit hard to get in touch with but everything else is great and they have many courses available which is fantastic.

I really love this school because i really feel the support and encouragement from teachers to do better and understand how to achieve your goals. The guidance counselors are always willing to answer your questions and help you out. Im a senior and im about to go to college, im really getting alot of help from my teacher and from my counselor with getting me into a good college and what I need in order to get into college. The most of students in this school are honestly sweethearts and so friendly. Alot of funny people and cool people to chill with. It feels like a family in Valley Central, To me I think this school should be rated ten out of ten.

Valley Central High School experinces a bad word about them once in a while but those words usuallly come from unhappy students due to things not going their way. This high school is a very nice high school. The teachers are there for their students everyday for any problem these students have. The staff of guidance counselors and principals and hall monitors taake their jobs seriously as well and make sure they try to solve every problem that is handed to them. The sports, clubs and performances bring this school's body of students, parents and staff together to enjoy an event that they have in common. Students you have never expected to be friends with each other, are friends with each other. The bullying is low, 1 student out of 15 students. Everyone in this building makes an effort to achieve a common goal, to make it through the school years,have memorable times,and go on to achiewve greater things in their lives. Valley Central has had tough times due to budgets and but this school tries everything possible to save the programs and the stafff for future students to have an amazing experince. Teachers have retired to save teachers their jobs. This school has Viking Pride.
