[edit] Academics
Courses are sometimes shared with Corvallis High School.[citation needed] Students taking courses at the partner school ride an approximately 15 minute bus to attend shared classes.[citation needed] Examples of such courses offerings from past years include AP Physics (offered at CHS and shared until 2010) 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]
In 2010, a student at the school was honored as a Presidential Scholar, one of three from Oregon.[7]There have been two other Presidential Scholars from this school in the last ten years.
[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)[8]. In 2007, the school met AYP targets set by the No Child Left Behind Act for the first time since the act's legislation[9]. 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.[10]
The school received a silver ranking from U.S. News & World Report's 2010 "America's Best High Schools" survey.[11][12]

In addition to many athletic teams, CV contributes to a co-ed Ultimate Frisbee team known as Tribe that has gone to state almost every year.[citation needed] Tribe has also managed to win state in recent years.[citation needed]
