Hi, well I might disagree with all the letters on this bulletin. In my opinion Prairie Vista Main is actually a perfect school to send your child to. I am not a perfect student at all but I know for a fact that Prairie Vista is pretty awesome and not undisciplined. This school has disciplined teachers.
... Read more Unfortunately, is not the teacher's fault that the students are so undesciplined and are so out of control but is actually the parents who don't bother to pay attention to their kids. I love this school and I think you should send your child to this school. This school also has many extracurricular activities and programs and also the A.L.L Program. The A.L.L Program helps you understand class lessons and helps you with your homework plus let's you have some free time with your friends to hangout.This is my opinion. Read less

My child attended the 6th grade campus last year. I met with most of his teachers , except PE, and was very happy with them and their lesson plans. However, I found out that some of them had to curb their planned lessons to prepare the kids for state testing. I don't think my child had a full year

My child has attended Prairie Vista Middle School since the sixth grade and it has been a terrible experience for her. The students at this school are undisciplined and have no respect for authority. Since she has arrived to this school, she has been torrmented and bullied everyday without an end. Cursing,

The faculty and staff have been uncaring and unhelpful--despite many attempts on my part to get help for my child. The environment is so bad at this school that a serious, well behaved student, like my child, has a difficult time even concentrating, much less learning. The curriculum is far behind and parent involvement is non-existant. Overall, the school is not worth sending your child to. Read less
