School Reviews
| 2 I wouldn't recommend SVHS due to the fact of the bullying that people have or had been facing over the years. The best high schools in Ogle County would be Rochelle & Bryon. Bryon is a smaller town than Rochelle but, both communities are great! - Posted by Student/Alumni - James |
