Unfortunately the principal at this institution is unresponsive to inquiring parents within the community. Sent several emails requesting information about process and was never directed or educated on what the next appropriate steps should be. The principal did respond asking several questions as follow up (which we answered promptly), then left us hanging even after multiple attempts to reengage. His singular response only occurred when we CC’d his staff. Ultimately his actions come across as a lack of professionalism and I’m certain many other communications from community members “slip through” the cracks.

Happy Valley is a wonderful school. My son is engaged with what he's learning and enjoys school. The new principal is wonderful and motivated -- knows every kid, shows up at all the events outside of school hours. The PTA is incredibly industrious and motivated to improve access to enriching experiences for all kids. They host events throughout the year including a free book fair. We are having a great experience at this school.

The teachers are extremely rude and don't offer the students emotional physical or mental support. My daughter has come home crying many times due to the teachers being so mean.
