[edit] Academics

Courses are sometimes shared with Corvallis High School.[citation needed] Students taking courses at the partner school ride an approximately hourly bus to attend shared classes.[citation needed] Examples of such courses are AP Physics (offered at CHS) or AP Environmental Science (offered at CV).[citation needed]

In 2008, 79% of the school's seniors received their high school diploma. Of 243 students, 192 graduated, 39 dropped out, 1 received a modified diploma, and 11 are still in high school.[5][6]

[edit] Reputation and ratings

According to the 2006-2007 School Report Card, the average SAT score of CV students is higher than the state or national averages (with 66% participating)[7]. In 2007, the school met AYP targets set by the No Child Left Behind Act for the first time since the act's legislation[8]. The school has won the Oregonian Cup, which recognizes "overall excellence by schools in academics, activities and athletics," in the 2000-2001, 2006-2007, and 2007-2008 academic years.[9]

The school received a silver ranking from U.S. News & World Report's 2010 "America's Best High Schools" survey.[10][11]
