Valley High School

About Our School

Valley High School is one of thirteen four-year comprehensive high schools in the Albuquerque Public School System and has served the students of the North Valley for over 50 years. It is a diverse ethnic and socioeconomic area with approximately 1200 students including some 200 special education students enrolled in neighborhood and District programs. The Valley Academy was the first academic magnet high school established in APS.
Valley is proud of its cultural and ethnic diversity.  Among our student body, you will find descendants of Albuquerque’s founding fathers, as well as those who have recently arrived in the United States.  There are several neighborhoods within our attendance area — Los Duranes, Los Griegos, Los Anayas, and Los Chaves — which are named for families whose ancestors settled here over 300 years ago.
