The academics, teachers, and classes are great but the students are very judgemental and some bullying occurs.

Quaker Valley High School may be an excellent school for some students, but may not be for others. Most of the teachers, the academics and opportunities as well as the special education department are top notch! However, the bullying and harassment policy and protocol overall in the Quaker Valley School District as a whole, needs updated and revamped to match what is happening in today’s society amongst teens on school property and on social media. This is not just our family who feels this way. Student as well as Teacher training on how to notice, report and stop bullying in its tracks, as well as student advocacy against bullying in the high school above the freshman level is not up to par. Bullying should be dealt with in a timely manner in all school districts. Unfortunately, that is not always the case at QV. This is of the utmost importance with how a decent amount of students at the middle school and high school level mistreat their peers and can be beyond cruel to one another. All of our children have either been in private or public schools for over 18 years now. This includes 6 different school districts in 3 different states, encompassing city and non-city schools, so we have experience in very different environments and a with a wide diversity of students. Not all, but a good portion of students in the class of 2022 at QV High School are the worst class for bullying and harassment we have ever experienced in all these years. What a shame that many of the students act more like immature privileged middle schoolers only caring about themselves and not caring one bit about others or who they hurt, rather than young adults who should be respectful, responsible and compassionate human beings. Teach our Children Well in all aspects of life, not just education. They are the future.

Honestly, they don't give you any information before the first day of school. Literally will use your children for a PR photo before actually sending out info on the school year. They don't mail you ANYTHING. You have to use their website which seems VERY easy to hack. They will NOT let children in under the age of 5 even if they read at a fifth grade level and belong in first grade. They do NOT care about children. I moved to this district for the school and I regret it SO MUCH! My son has been discriminated against based on age (6 days too old) so they made him wait a year. Now their moving him to first grade so they denied him kindergarten. They did that.
