Arrow vale High shoool
Arrow vale high school is something that the local council is working on. With arrow vale being the worst school in the county, the area is still supporting the school and helping to improve. The school is based around a set of blocks, built at roughly the same time. The school has a very urban and city feel.
----
Baxter collage
Baxter collage is again a school that needs improvement. But it is improving and the school is thrilled that there is a brighter time ahead. The school used to be Harry chesier high school but was closed due to bad results. Hopefully it wont happen again. The school is large and is based around one main block, with others around the site. The school is still classed as an Failing school, but with any luck it will come out of that area.

King charles i school
King charles is in all a good school. How ever it is nothing close to the school above. King charles has had a average repuation over all but the school has been falling over the past years. Hopefully the school wont turn into a Govenment problem. The school is a specialist Science college, but offers the same courses and most other schools. The school clames to be in a hard time at the moment but that has'nt stoppend haybridge high and Bewdley school from getting first on the results tables. The school used to be kidderminster high school which was a girls only school. But that was closed and was named as king charles i school.
