Prepared me very well for college. Can't wait for the remodel to be done and for my kids to go to the same school as their parents. Competitive statewide in most of the extracurriculars.
This has got to be the worst learning environment ever. I can't even begin to describe how awful this situation is. The school is dusty from construction and the amount of chemicals in the air makes it hard to breathe. I swear to God I come home every day with a gosh diddly darn headache from all the toxic fumes in the air and I can't wait to develop lung cancer. THERE IS ASBESTOS IN THIS BUILDING IN WHICH I SPEND MOST OF MY DAY, FIVE DAYS A WEEK IN, HELLO MESOTHELIOMA. I hate to see what chemicals end up in the cafeteria food, lord help us. The water fountains are toxic and I'm scared to image what I might be drinking. The building smells like smoke every single day. Depending on what hallway you're in it might feel like a sauna or Antarctica because we have no working air conditioning or heating system. We literally do not even have ceiling tiles yet. The power goes out during class, the sound of construction is never ending (yes, even during super important tests), there's so many construction areas to avoid, pipes and light panels fall from the ceiling, there is absolutely no way to feel comfortable, and I'm 100% positive none of this can be safe. So thank you VHS, for making my high school career so memorable.
I will give the school 3 stars but Ill go over cons and pros.Cons Too much public affection with students in front of lockers or in the middle of the hall, not only is it in the way but its very rude and uncaring. I dont care who youre dating, just move out of the way! Heating/AC is disabled. Its techy, but a con is the WiFi cant support 2,000+ students. Some teachers waste valuable class time talking about News/Politics/Sports. (Save it for another time so the homework load evens out.) Lack of security, theres a cop, but almost a good portion of doors in the school are unlocked. Its cliquey. If youre a major sports star, youre out of shape but can bench 300lbs, or you have a flashy Instagram youre popular. Other students that are very talented in art, or literature can be very unrecognized and deserve more notability. Laslty Construction, although its for improvements its a haul, and many chemicals and mildew get students very sick. Pros Honors courses are very well organized. Staff/ Counselors are helpful, the one in the library I forget her name but shes amazing, I also love Mrs. Goss! cafeteria has healthy options and better than expected food. Some teachers even Tutor students which is helpful. Lockers are nicely organized, and so are halls, although class relocation is often a little difficult. Mentally Challenged students are noticed and treated well by peers. Many programs and events!
Curriculum and education: greatEverything else: yeah nope
Im not from this area, I moved from St Louis MO, to Valpo about 1 year ago and dont like it. First, the students here make you feel so unwelcomed and isolated if youre not deemed there stupid standards. So much arrogance. Secondly, Status. Its so weird why people here care about a status whether its your relationship, finical, social, or athletic status. In St Louis, its bigger and no one cares who you are or about your success, no one cares or wants to know where as here in valpo its so small and everyone knows everyone. Also, I cannot from any bonds with anyone because everyone here is socially impariered, arrogant, or uncomfortably refuses to talk. Plain weird. Educational wise, its good. Sports wise, overall well. However, the last weird thing is the policy of taking a day off. If you are caught up in stress or tiredness and take 1 day off they flip nuts. I have never been to a school that cares more about a few days off than classmates making their little hang over last night story a classroom discussion.
