Very good. I had three children go to school here and the faculty was very supportive. They seem to have a good system in place. For a large school they are excellent. Always felt like they genuinely cared for our kids.

I am extremely disappointed with the principal’s approach to communication. She avoids engaging with parents, offers no transparency about teachers or class progress, and leaves us completely in the dark. Instead of addressing concerns, she deflects blame. For the benefit of the school, it would be far better to have a principal who truly prioritizes student well-being, is open to parent concerns, and fosters effective communication to bring about real positive change. Mrs. Mantle should be removed from the Principal position!

when my child went to vale she experienced bullying every day just because she had a ways of expressing herself, she would come home crying, saying the teachers would treat her differently than the others, the students would call her names, take pictures of her, and she would tell the teachers, counselors, anyone and they would really just shrug it off as if it were nothing. the teachers would cause so much stress on her to the point where she was barely passing her classes, the vice principal was very homophobic to her telling her "girls can not be with girls" even though her and her friend were only holding hands! the vice principal would always shoot her dirty looks. the counselors did not make her feel safe nor welcomed, everytime she was called down she would have full blown panic attacks. overall this school is terrible. they dont care for their students nor do they care for their employees whether its behavior, grades, etc. this school is a horrible school from my experience and i definitely do not recommend.
