Great teachers at CV, but it is absolutely ridiculous that there are 40 students in each class! There's no way that my child is getting the best education possible when they're cramming that many kids into a classroom. Like I said, the teachers are great, but that's way too many kids in every class.

This is my daughters 2nd year at Ceroo Villa. The strict uniform policy is spelled out, and does not take a rocket scientist to follow. This is known prior to attending the school, so I do not understand why people have a problem with it. It has made mornings easier for us. The physical education program

My daughter is here to get an education, which I feel has been given to her in an excellent way. Not only are her Honors teachers enriching and caring, but her non-honors teachers as well. The only concern of mine is that many of the honors classes are so crowded, it would be nice to add additional honors program teachers to the staff to accomadate the students. Read less

This is my first year at CV. I luv it! Eventhough it has a strict uniform policy...i dont mind. it makes sense. You dont get disciplined right away if your shirt is untucked. The teacher just says, 'Psst. Your shirt is untucked.' to warn you. You only get disciplined if you ignore the teacher or knowingly

The conductor, Mrs. Hannah is so accepting and nice. Other afterschool sports and clubs are fun too. Try them if you go to CVMS~ So..if you have a child....bring her to CV! He/she will loooove it. I cant wait 'til 8th grade too. Go Vikings! Read less

To think the school is well established, great, and perfect for my 12-13 yr old to attend...think again. To many that doesn't know, it has a strict uniform policy...so strict that if one were to untuck their shirt they'd get disciplined, even though they have a reasonable answer for why; such as 'I forgot

The Nutrition and Lunch lines feature: French fries, pizza, chocolate chip cookies, chocolate muffins, donuts, chips, etc. And the kids are able to buy this as much as they want! You all may say 'The Physical Education Staff should be able to burn the fat they gained form lunch,' But the PE instructors just sit at the sidelines and tell them to run a mile or do some sport for the period and whether they are an ace athelete or one that tries their grade. Don't send your child here period. Read less
