As a parent of two students, I appreciate that the school offers strong programs in arts, sports, and many extracurricular activities. Those opportunities are a real positive for the students.However, the administrative side is frustrating. The front office feels bureaucratic, and it’s almost impossible to speak with a counselor or staff member without waiting a week or more.In addition, the service at the front desk has felt unprofessional and unwelcoming at times unless you are PTA parent or such. Since it’s the first point of contact for parents, a more respectful and helpful attitude would make a big difference.Lastly, some classes assign an excessive amount of homework, even during school breaks, which doesn’t seem to consider students’ need for rest physically and mentally.

Imma be honest it was ok because like there was a point where I tried to get help but I felt like it took a while for the teachers or counselors to help me out. All the counselor cares about is if u went against the dress code instead of helping you out with specifically what you need. other than the counselor, the teachers are good and some are fun. The school overall is ok I don't feel like the environment is the best tho.

Our daughter came to Valencia for Kindergarten and loved it there immediately. The teachers are warm and kind, yet have high expectations and the scaffolding in place to actually help the kids attain those lofty goals. I really couldn't say more wonderful things about Valencia, the staff, teachers and leadership. They also do so many fun community building events and activities such as outdoor movie nights and festivals, arts and crafts fairs and learning opportunities such as family yoga night.
