The vibes are very tense. Teachers are awesome, for the most part, def a few bad apples xD. Some of the other students give me the major creeps, which makes the school environment much less dope. History teachers unfortunately love dad jokes :/ Overall pretty good experience, classes are pretty easy but also challenging you in the way they should. Students are very cliquey, no one seems to branch out it's kinda like High School Musical. People actually dance on the tables at lunch too, but more like the dance in "Saturday Nights Alright" in Rocketman, where you think they're dancing but they're actually just fighting. Multiple times we've been leaving school and gotten stuck behind a fight.

I would love to give SVA a great review. My kids have had very different experiences in the building. Child A has adhd & is a gifted student. Although they are in advanced classes they're bored often due to lack of engagement from teachers and get in trouble almost daily. They've been made to feel like the target of teachers' negativity year after year. I know my child isn't perfect, but being in trouble every single day when you're really trying your hardest is no way to go through life. They have zero focus on social emotional learning here & if your child doesn't have a 504 plan or an iep they will be overlooked... it seems at this school you have to get one for your child to get any help in any way. The teachers don't do anything with threats against other kids & the administration is even worse. I can't wait until Child A is out of this school. Child B is younger & loves SVA. They are getting great grades & have lots of friends. They've had some trouble, but mostly on the bus with bigger kids. I'm guessing Child B's experience is also different because they're in a lower grade level. I'm not looking forward to Child B reaching middle school here at all.
