Alto Vista

We are in our second year at FVE and it has been fantastic! We expected the class sizes to be smaller based on info here, but they are still reasonable. There just happens to be a lot of kids the same age as mine. There are some newer teachers, but with the team teaching style it seems they are brought up to speed quickly. I appreciate the advanced academics/gifted and talented opportunities available. The PTO has been excellent! They do a great job with activities for the kids and for families. They are very successful fundraisers too! Overall, really happy with our experience!

Robert Moton has many highly qualified teachers that care about their students. The music/instrumental music program is great and family engagement efforts and events are excellent. The school has resources to support students that are not necessarily available at all schools in the county. These resources can be used to offer greater opportunities to the school community and to enhance learning for the students.

In my opinion I would not recommend this school my daughter is coming home crying almost every day saying people are being rude and I don't like that!

"Willie" is a great school for kids. We have two years under our belt and are very happy with the friendly, supportive teachers and administrators. Looking forward to my youngest starting in a couple of years and hope it's an equally terrific learning environment.

I have a 3rd and 5th grader. The teachers at this school could not care less about the students safety and health. The counselors are more worried about getting your money than helping your child. I’m thinking about pulling both my kids out of this place. This school does not care about mental health and that is a big no to my family. The students here are very disrespectful and I’ve seen it when my own eyes. My third grader recently gotten bullied and yea hers did nothing about it! Another big no for my family.

I see most of the 5-star reviews are from when the last permanent principal was working here (Mr. Reisburg). As someone whose gone to the school for a good portion of both's time here, i will say the school has definitely gone down hill since those times. The only good thing I will say about this school is that their curriculum is sound, though they tend to hire unqualified nepo teachers. The staff heavily favors their kids and their kids' friends (as well as sports kids). If you're kid is not a part of this group, they WILL be actively discriminated against and bullied by the former. Any dilemma taken to the staff will favor the former over your kid and place the blame on them instead. I have not yet talked to a person outside of the former group that has not been bullied by them yet. Slurs, insults, and death threats are not an uncommon occurrence and staff does nothing. (Most of the teachers mean well, but once the issue gets to the Office, it dissipates as if nothing happened.) They do not teach of the Christianity the Bible teaches. They fear monger and prey on your kids, making them feel heavily guilty for being born with a sin nature instead of teaching them the love and kindness Jesus teaches. Im not sure the last time I heard the word "love" in Thursday chapel when not used in a negative context. Most chapel speeches critique student behavior rather than encouraging good, Christ-like behavior. Please, do NOT send your kids here if you want them to truly thrive. My experience was engulfed in guilt, depression, anxiety and perfectionism. - recent withdrawal student
