VVMS graduate. Overall, the school was ok. I was enrolled in GATE classes my three years at VV and the teachers were excellent, especially Ms. Barlow and Mrs. Powers. Both of them really helped for the Honors and AP classes of high school. On the other hand, school funding should have gone to more

Many parents give their time and energy and devote it to PTA,school dances, etc. The academic programs are excellent too. Being a GATE student I realize all the GATE teachers and my other teachers are highly intelligible and all adore their jobs. I have 2 regular classes and I feel the same way with these teachers. P.E. is great and has students running every week and having fun every day. All in all, Valley View is an excellent school, and I commend and recommend it highly. Read less
