School Overview

Tucked into the western edge of Yakima, West Valley High School sits in one of the more suburban, family-friendly pockets of a region better known for its orchards and wine country than its urban hustle. The school turns in solid numbers in English and math, making it a reasonable choice for families who want a dependable public high school experience without the pressure-cooker atmosphere of a highly competitive district. Families drawn to the Yakima Valley's outdoor lifestyle — think hiking, skiing at White Pass, and easy access to Central Washington's wide-open spaces — will find West Valley a comfortable fit within a tight-knit community that tends to know its neighbors.
