I don't recommend this school at all, I had incident with my daughter and no one care for this school to communicate or resolve this issue. The bus driver didn't show up yesterday to drop off my daughter, she doesn't have a cell phone to let me know. The school had her to stay outside in the street waiting for another bus driver to drop her off. It took from him two hours to drop her off. During this time I didn't know anything about my daughter, tried to call the school, the district, the transportations ... no response. My husband went there and the school was closed . Finally I called the police who connected me with the ISD which wasn't helpful at all. This morning I went to school to meet the principle . she refused to meet me because she is busy. Seriously!!!!! so bad school and district I will file complaint and reach out to highest level if possible. Once it's affected the kids safety no Joke in there.

We came from a huge city (2+ million population) to Van. I had interactions with the district Superintendent, the Elementary Principal and the HS VP and Principal. The office staff in the Elem, Jr High and HS are rude and unsophisticated. They lack people skills and are not outgoing. They are terrible at education and have procedures at the schools that make nonsense. When confronted with their stupid procedures and offered alternative ideas they just complain that they don't have enough resources. Most of the teachers give worksheets every day. There is very little interaction between the teachers and students. The behavior of the kids is awful - sex, drugs, bullying, skipping, etc. Majority of the teachers and staff have ZERO common sense. Just because you have a Bachelor's degree does not mean you have wisdom. Trust me you do not want your children "educated" by this district - they will learn nothing.

This school is fantastic. Contrary to what some may have said, the emphasis is definitely on academics first. State test scores show this to be true. Students here receive iPads, which takes classroom engagement to an entirely new level. The teachers are progressive and believe in building relationships with students. College is also emphasized heavily here. It is a great place. My kids love this school.

My daughter goes to middle school here. She has some extreme anxiety issues and the teachers and office staff have been nothing but helpful to her. She has gone to Van schools since kindergarten and we have never had any issues with any school related things.
