Would really like to see the school really push for greater depth and pace of education. The key to any elementary is teaching kids how to learn. Learning how to learn is the foundational element for any child, this is not a focus for the kids at Green Valley. Additionally, the school caters to the students operating at the lowest quartile and doesn't attempt to push those who seek to advance their pace and growth. The school has had meaningful turnover in teachers. It would appear budgets might be an issue, but we don't seem much innovation in education. Finally, Donna Grimm needs to be replaced. The school needs a more sophisticated Principal who doesn't cater to a select number of parents. Donna seemingly favors select students and parents, and also seems to have an aversion to minorities. Several parents and teachers have suggested that Donna has a particular bias in her views. This is not appropriate for an elementary school. I think the district needs to review this in more depth and receive a proper review of Donna based on a survey of both parents and staff.
