Valparaiso High School

I will give the school 3 stars but I’ll 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 it’s very rude and uncaring. I don’t care who you’re dating, just move out of the way! • Heating/AC is disabled. • It’s techy, but a con is the WiFi can’t 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, there’s a cop, but almost a good portion of doors in the school are unlocked. • It’s cliquey. If you’re a major sports star, you’re out of shape but can bench 300lbs, or you have a flashy Instagram you’re popular. Other students that are very talented in art, or literature can be very unrecognized and deserve more notability. • Laslty Construction, although it’s for improvements it’s 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 she’s 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!

Once I get cancer from all the asbestos in the ceiling and walls I'm suing this half broken school.

I’m not from this area, I moved from St Louis MO, to Valpo about 1 year ago and don’t like it. First, the students here make you feel so unwelcomed and isolated if you’re not deemed there stupid standards. So much arrogance. Secondly, Status. It’s so weird why people here care about a status whether it’s your relationship, finical, social, or athletic status. In St Louis, it’s bigger and no one cares who you are or about your success, no one cares or wants to know where as here in valpo it’s 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, it’s 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.
