I love this school, just came there and Im an freshman. Rgeardless people are going to say this is a bad school. IT IS NOT. They are very welcoming and nice. They have JROCT, cooking, Public speaking or Debate team/class and more. MUptiple luages classes like French, Spanish and Mandorian chinnise. Tons of sports Football, basketball, tenniss and volleyball track too! The techers are pretty nice they tey to help out as much as they can just ask them. The food her is AWSOME. For kids who have food issues they let anyone and everyone get as much as they need/want they should know the limits. Bring your kid here its awsome!!!

I can only speak from our own experience and My children had a horrible time here. Their first teacher quit a month into the school year and the school offered no explanation or support with the questions of of 4-5 years olds not understanding why their teacher left without a goodbye. They had a sub for the remainder of the year. Then another teacher leaves on maternity leave suddenly a month into the school year again a sub for the rest of the year who also takes several days off weekly, having even more subs. Principle also leaves for another position at another school. Then when they (new principal and barely there teachers) feel like they can’t force a child to sit down or shut up they schedule an SST meeting for the teacher to not even bother to show up only for the rest of staff to show up to say maybe we’ll meet again next year, because the children was above grade level on test scores, they knew they had nothing only bored children who’s already reading and doing math above their peers. They also want to encourage parents conflict and offer parents each others phone numbers when kids get into altercations in the school, this following an incident where a parent died on campus after a conflict that ended with them having a heart attack. I hope others have a better experience but I can’t say I’d recommend this school to anyone after the last 3 years we’ve endured there.

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!
