This is fantastic school. My kids are very happy there.

I graduated from Dakota Valley. Overall a good school, tho like every school spends too much money on sports and not enough on the other extracurricular activities. They do a lot of creative stifling with the stories the newspaper is allowed to print. They only have a single page for the paper and no circulated newspaper within the school. The English teacher Mrs. Michealson is brilliant a wonderful woman with extensive knowledge of her field. Some of the other teachers could use a little work. Most of the students are snotty little rich kids but there are good students to talk with. Overall if I had to choose where to school my kids it would be Dakota Valley the pros vastly outweigh the cons.

My three youngest children attended this school. I brought them there because I thought it would be better than the school they previously attended. The only difference is that they are more subtle about allowing the bullying. Unless you have a lot of money don’t bother sending your kids here. The overt favoritism for the children of parents with money is ridiculous.
