10/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI could not be happier with Tri-Valley schools at all levels. Eventhough they are a small school, they consistently outperform the other schools in the county, even the much larger Unit 5 & District 87. Parental involvement is exceptional. While the school district originally serveda rural audience, in the past 20 years the growth of semi-rural upper-middle class to upper class developments has changed the characteristics of the student body and the tax base. While I agree with another commenter that there is virtually no diversity at Tri-Valley, I dont agree that the district is overly sports oriented. I have two children that participate in athletics and I cna tell you first hand that the academic requirements for athletes to participate are stricter than what the state requires. Eventhough they are a small school, students can earn college credit for high school course work through a program that TVHS offers i conjunciton with the local community college. All things considered, I cna not think of any other school distric in central Illinois that I would prefer my children to attend.Parent Review13y ago - Tri-Valley Elementary School
