Overall, we have had a very positive experience at CPHS. My two kids have worked hard, enjoyed many sport experiences and extra curricular. The teachers have been great. All high schools have problems, nothing is perfect. How we choose to react and learn, is the key to success.

This school has amazing teachers who genuinely care about their students. However, as a parent, I can tell that the teachers are burnt out and do not feel appreciated.The biggest issue is the administration, particularly the principal, who does not seem to care about the parents or the staff. My son and daughter had amazing teachers, but the school is lacking in many areas. One of the most important areas is supporting and valuing its teachers and engaging with parents. Unfortunately, the principal does not appear to prioritize either.The school needs new leadership. With an administration that values communication, empathy, and support for both teachers and families, parent involvement would likely increase. However, it is difficult to build a strong school community when the current administration does not seem to care about or show empathy toward others.

VVMS under the leadership of Mrs. Buscemi and her amazing staff is fantastic! We are so pleased with the experience our children have had here. Valley View has the BEST middle school music program in MDUSD. (Thank you , Mrs. Nesmith!) The accelerated math program really prepares the students for the next level and the parent involvement allows for so many extras for the kids. We love our school community! Go Jaguars!
