I think bullying was the worst problem that happened during my time at JWMS. The adult authorities at the school had a difficult time understanding situations and that often made it worse. I'm also not stating that it was just the kids at the school who would bully but it was also teachers. I remember my 8th grade science teacher would verbally bully girls and pick on them, and it was always girls he was picking on. I was one of them. It didn't help that I had a counselor who couldn't care less if one of there students just jumped off a bridge. They could care less of there students well being, and the same goes with the principles. I honestly would recommend going to a different school, I mean unless you want your child to become depressed.

I enjoyed going to Valley. It is different as a parent I see things differently. However compared to other schools I would say Valley is above the rest.

Outstanding teaching staff and principal! Very proactive in getting needed resources to each child with an awesome team approach. Focus on good citizenship. This school really fosters a great atmosphere for learning!
