River Valley High School
I am a parent of an upcoming junior at RV. For the past two years I have been impressed by the academic counselors and their caring. I am a single parent and don't feel like the Lone Ranger going it alone with this sort of support. I also like that my son is able to take the new forensic science course being offered this year. He has always had a natural bent toward the sciences and I am anxious to see where he goes with this. Thank you River Valley!

komal kaur: this school is amazing. Teachers are wonderful and get to know the students well because of its block schedule. This school allows kids who are focused and on the college track to advance and go at the pace that they like. 320 credits earned during your normal four years their is great compared to the other school yuba city. Also River Valley lets you take 8 classes a year compared to the normal 6. River Valley also has a New Football Stadium so sports mater to us too. As do clubs, a host of clubs are offered at river valley. Clubs such as Debate Club, Red Cross Club, Fencing Club, Chess Club and FFA just to name a few. The clubs offered here offer a plethora of choices from volunteering to school spirt to academic.
