In my opinion VFLES is a great school. I currently have two children who attend the school and overall have been completely satisfied. The Art, PE, and Music teachers are simply angels that the children love and give the students a passion for what they teach. The school nurse is caring and professional,

As a parent of a fifth and third grader who have spent all of their school years at Farm Life, I am very happy with the education my children have received. The teachers seem to enjoy their jobs and interact with the kids to a degree not found in most schools. The coach, art & music teachers, volunteers,

Fortunately, my kids don't have special needs, but the availibility of those services is a blessing to many in our community.

I think the scores and statistics reflect the commitment of the staff. Candy C. Rozo Read less

VFLES is one of the worst schools I have ever had to deal with. The Administration is terrible and they do not care about the children. I have had the experience of a good teacher there that really cared about the children and have had the experience of a really bad teacher that was gone most of the

I have had the experience of them refusing to allow my child to have anything to drink all day (even during lunch) when brought to the attention of the Principle needless to say nothing was done other than my child moved to a different classroom which was worse. I believe all school have good teachers and bad teachers but when you do not have an administration that cares, your childs protection and education is put at stake. Needless to say I homeschool now.

I am very pleased with the overall education my children receive at VFLES. The teachers continuously go above and beyond the call of duty to promote the education of well-rounded children. Many of the teachers are involved in community functions and organizations. The only aspect of VFLES that I have

She handles most of these by referring them to her V.Principal. This would be acceptable if the V.P. was able to handle all of the issues thrown her way. I am not a fan of the administration at all and would love to see a change made. Read less
