We can’t say enough great things about Valle Crucis School. Our kids have been there for 6 years and don’t want it to end. The building is beautiful but most importantly the culture is focused on kindness, respect, and integrity! From the teachers, bus drivers, cafeteria staff, to the very top (ie Dr Smith the principal), the collective staff of VCS go above and beyond to encourage and inspire the kids. I highly highly recommend it!

"It’s a very rural area. For the most part, properties here have a yard, so there is a space right at home for your dog - no need to try to locate dog parks or anything like that"

"This street is off of a main route with heavy traffic. There are no sidewalks, and I personally do not walk much around here because it doesn’t feel safe to walk on a road with a 55 mph speed limit, especially without sidewalks"
