Both of my two boys attended and graduated from this school. Both boys were well prepared for college and have done excellent in college. The teachers and staff were awesome. The school spirit is high and we enjoyed many activities the kids were part of.

Love this school and everything they do!!! <3

Kindergarten, 1st grade, and 2nd grade all went well. 3rd grade has been a nightmare. The curriculum has gotten more difficult, as expected, and our child has been diagnosed with ADHD - inattentive type. The teacher in this great is woefully ill-equipped for any type of neurodivergent minds. The diagnosis was provided and a 504 plan in place. The teacher still uses words like "negative attitude in regards to getting out of his seat" and "takes advantage of the system," to the child. A child that cannot help his diagnosis is being chastised for it. When asked to be given more frequent updates rather than "it's been happening for weeks," communication was shut down, angrily by the teacher stating we should know how she communications. a handful of emails and a 15 minute parent teacher conference means we have no idea how she communicates. When asked to confirm the verbiage used, we were told "i will not sit here and be accused." All the while, he is academically average or above with compliments all over his work. The latest is a recommendation for a summer program to prevent him from falling behind. It covers several topics. We are unaware of which topics it's believed he needs and the criteria to qualify for such a program.Aside from this individual "educator's" communication style, there are reports of children talking about violence and one even drawing a Nazi soldier with a swastika, all ignored by the teacher. However, kids are routinely allowed to text from smartwatches which is strictly prohibited by the district. Perhaps it's this one teacher that has no business caring for children or perhaps we were lucky until now and this is what we're in for going forward. If this experience continues, we would seriously consider alternative education options to be clear of these difficulties and treatments.

My son attended Valleyview Middle School, and unfortunately, he experienced persistent bullying from other students due to his weight and race. We reported these incidents to the school, but the response from the administration specifically the principal, Seth Korman was dismissive. When I spoke with the principal about addressing the bullying, I was told, “this is a different time, a different place,” which minimized the seriousness of the situation.Despite my efforts to file official bullying reports, my son shut down emotionally. He still carries emotional scars from his time at this school, which we continue to address. Based on our experience, I cannot recommend this school to other parents.
