NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis school doesn’t give out spelling words. Every other school I called does. Some kids need extra practice that they are not getting at school. Some kids benefit from multiple exposures and repeated visual supports and prompts and this school doesn’t know how they plan to support that learning need in lieu of their policy. If your kid needs this don’t send them to this school. They don’t give a learning plan for that in writing when you ask.Parent Review1y ago - Pleasant Valley Intermediate School
