I have been in this school for 10 years and I have graduated this year. I do not recommend this school to people. ELA is the worst class and this teacher does not teach. I absolutely love the social studies teacher even though his classroom is a disaster. My math teacher was wonderful this year, I have
... Read more never done this good in math my whole life. The science teacher is a very fair teacher and knows how to control her students. The religion teacher for the 7th and 8th graders is wonderful. She knows how to teach a class and give the students the information they need to know. Although I do not recommend this school, I will miss my years here terribly. Read less

Its okay. I go there now and I don't recommend it to people. The school is to worried about a child breaking the rules then its teaching skills. Some teachers are very nice, but some don't teach. I am a Junior High student. Some classrooms are a disaster, some teachers don't teach and some are excellent.
... Read more I have been in the Villa since first grade. Before that I went to public school and my mom regrets taking me out. I got a better education at public school then I ever will get at the Villa. ELA is a disaster with the teachers teach. Our social studies teacher is great but his room is horrible. Our science teacher is excellent. She knows how to control a class, she knows how much work to give and not to give, and she is a very fair teacher. I am a sixth grader here. Read less

I am currently a student a the Villa. I have been there since Pre-K and am now in 8th grade. To me, I love the school and all my years there mean alot to me. The teachers, some of them, are great! The math teachers for Junior High are wonderful. I do dislike the teaching in some of the lower grades and
... Read more feel that the teachers could be much nicer but you do get the education you need. I am on the Honor Society, if that proves that the teaching is somewhat adequate, and i have had honors since 4th grade. Some of the Junior High classrooms are a total dissaster ( no actual teaching going on whatsoever). But for some reason, most likely my obsessive studying, I am passing with honors so I really cannot complain. Overall, I definately will miss my years here. Read less

I currently have two children in the school. I feel there is no assistance to help kids who may be struggling. Notification is not given if there is something wrong. You realize it when it is report card time. There are teachers too new to be teaching kids in the upper grades. Don't bother paying

I put my daughter in VMA after hearing it was a wonderful school. I am not pleased with the 'teaching'. I find myself homeschooling her after classes. Homework takes a couple of hours to complete. There is so much emphasis on testing that I dont find the children are enjoying what they are learning.
... Read more They are learning so they can do well on the next test. I am afraid my daughter will just not enjoy learning because of the high emphasis on exams. 'Learning is Fun' should be added to the learning process. I agree with the comments related to children being singled out and told they have a problem. This is a common practice and I feel the teachers should have the experience to address the variouse situations that arise. Read less

I am currently a Junior in College and I am very surprised by these negative comments left. When I was in the Villa it was the best school in the area and students were pushed to reach their full potential. However, the amazing teachers that I had while at the Villa are almost all gone today. My experience
... Read more there was amazing and I will never forget it. It prepared me for Highschool and in a way also college. They pushed us to excell in our academic performance and prepared us for what came ahead. Taking the entrance exam to get into highschool was easy because our teachers prepared us beyond what we needed to know. As an alumni of the school I would HIGHLY reccomend sending your children here. It provides a warm environment where children grow not only academically but also as a person. Read less

I agree with this school being considered a disgrace considering the tuition. I have three children in the school and I can't wait to take them out!

The school has a habit of blaming the child and telling you that your child has a problem, when in fact the many of the teachers are not teaching to the best of their abilities! Specials are a joke- with the exception of Physical Ed. No language given. I can't wait to remove my kids and send them to a good school. Read less
