I just enrolled my son at Valwood recently. It seems to be a really caring and nurturing environment. My son does have a lot more scholwork and testing then he had at his previous school, but I definitely think that this school has a lot more to offer academically. The only thing the school is lacking

I could not be more pleased with Valwood. It is a warm and nurturing environment as well as very academically challenging. If your child is a poor student it is not a good choice.

My son attends Valwood as it is the only college preparatory school in the area. I want him to be challenged and he became bored in the public system. He attended middle school at a public school in Georgia (not Lowndes) and we did not feel that it compared to what we were used to in the north. So

My daughter attends Valwood and we just lovethe school. The teachers take an active interest in the children. Because it is a private school, there is more individualized attention. It really feels like a family. The only downside is that there is not a lot of diversity within the student body.

My child attended Valwood from Pre-K through 9th grade. I was satisfied with the majority of his education until we reached the upper school level. However...the teachers not being certified in their teaching field tends to surface when they reach the high school level. Excellent for lower school.

But Valwood, even with it's flaws is by far the best school in the area. I would send my children to Valwood over public schools anyday. What Valwood represents is potential. Students who apply themselves and take advantage of the resources at hand are sure to go on to bigger and better things. Valwood has potential that needs to be utilised. Read less
