The teaching staff is extremely friendly and always does their best to ensure every student is prepared. The opportunities for academic achievement are insane - most schools do not have the opportunities that try valley offers and makes available to students. I am glad I made the switch to try valley!

Bullying seems to be an ongoing problem at this school. While teachers are pleasant for the most part, the administration on the other hand, leaves much to be desired.
