This school is a place where children are happy to arrive every morning. The library is well equipped and staffed by caring professionals. The physical education teachers are among the best in their field. The exceptional children are instructed by a national board certified teacher. The faculty teach with enthusiasm.

In my experience having 3 kids now that have passed on through this school - It was the worst school my kids attended. My kids dreaded going. It was a chore to keep them positive and wanting to go and learn. Teachers let them do whatever they want. Never any homework My child was bullied non stop with no help of the principal to put an end to it. It was constant! Her grades were the worst at this school and she is a straight A student prior to attending here and most importantly she loved school before going to MVI. Personally most staff and faculty here make it seem they hate being a part of the team as well. Students are made to clean classrooms weekly for a full day. Dusting and wiping down cabinets. Receptionist is extremely rude and dull. Once my kids left MVI they began to thrive once again and be themselves. I was told they have no structure. If you don't have money you are nothing to the teachers and you are ahund and treated badly. The stats here that I have reviewed for where kids should be are absurdly low. Makes you wonder what's going on. If I had to go back I would definitely homeschool children during these 2 yrs to keep them from all the damage that happens here at this school. Would not ever recommend. And I know I'm not the only parent in this town that feels this way. Such a shame!!
