VUE is a great school with high expectations. I always feel that they go beyond the typical basic skills of teaching and really push the students to perform to their maximum potential. When my children were at the lower elementary, I always wanted more. They never gave homework and my children always had straight A's. I just felt as though they were doing "just enough". When they moved to the upper, I finally felt as though they were progressing. Straight A's mean nothing to me personally if they are not growing and making gains as a student. I applaud VUE for those efforts. I do wish they would have more parent-friendly events though. I want to be involved but they offer less opportunities than the lower.

The staff and administration have been so helpful with my son who can be challenging. They listen to my concerns and gave me helpful advice.

This school doesn't allow students to get to their full potential

The dress code is overly strict, they change things every single year and they only got over dyed hair last year, they also at one point made it so that if any logo besides the school logo is on your clothing and is bigger than your fist you get in school detention. And the administration is garbage (at least in my experience) they tend to show more love to women then men and tend to not correctly punish people. They also favor popular or athletic students over kids who are more quiet and kept to themselves, the curriculums are so old that if I showed them to my mom who left years ago she would tell me that it's the same stuff she's been teaching. Also the funding baffles me, you have enough funding for better office supplies yet can't even refurbish the bathrooms, fix the several broken locks on the bathroom doors, give supplies to teachers and make them pay for everything, but you can buy TVs for the lunch room that are NEVER used? Also we are forced to pay for our school lunches even though last year we didn't and no one had a problem with it? Also we do NOT have enough teachers for all the students ending with classrooms having 26 or more students in them for ONE teacher. The administration has actively discriminated with my friends and other students only because their beliefs are different and they choose to express that, we also are NOT allowed to have any sort of pride besides "school pride" because everything besides that is disrupting class. There is a huge bully problem at this school and targeting problem, but when it's brought up to administration nothing happens. 0/10 would have never gone here if I wasn't forced to.
