When I went to this school, it was fantastic, nice teachers and a nice learning experience, my least favorite teacher was in 5th grade, and the 6th grade teachers were nice than her.

There's so many fights here it's ridiculous.I got called homophobic slurs multiple times and nothing was done about it.Like 90% of the students were kind of bigots.They changed my bus for a month and never changed it back even though (from what I've heard) they said they'd change it back. All the bus 18 kids that were from 25 want to be back on 25.I had to wake up really early (5:30 AM) and the bus route takes super long on 18 and we were pretty much always late.No phones are allowed at all.On my last day I was hugging my friends goodbye (I was sobbing my hood was soaked in tears) and some employee said "let's not hang around guys"Most of my teachers made me want to not learn.The amount of homework I got made me really stressed.Snacks ARE allowed in most classes.We also had teams, where basically a grade was split up into three groups, and the teams aren't really allowed to interact with each other at all.Overall this school kind of sucked.

I would highly recommend CV. I know every school, just like every business, has room for improvement, but the education my children have gotten and are getting at CV has prepared them very well for what is to come. If you look at what school really is for - to prepare students for citizenship and functioning in the world - CV has gone above and beyond to do this. My children have participated in TSA, Sports, Drama, TV Studio, and more and I can't say enough about the dedication of the staff and faculty involved with each of these areas. It has helped to shape my children, helped them become more confident in themselves, and even in the times they didn't win the game or things didn't turn out as planned, they were able to regroup and rise to the challenge of the next thing. My son is going to a top tier school and I anticipate my daughter to do the same, so please remember that not everyone who is happy about a school fills these forms out.
