This school is amazing! Out of five stars I would give to 8.

My student was assaulted, bullied and harassed. I filed several complaints, and nothing was done. I felt like they cared more about the number of students over the safety of the student. I asked what the process was for bullies and physical assault and the response was they will be expelled however nothing was done. BUT... the staff did suggest I set him up for online school since there was a problem with him being bullied. mind you instead of removing the kids who were at fault you want me to remove my student. It also caused issues in his studies, and they would not address this other than to say my student was slipping in grades.

Both of my children attended all four years Spring Valley. The opportunities are endless! They can choose from basic CP classes to a wide array of AP courses depending on what best suits their needs. The teachers are accommodating, kind, and willing to work with all students, as they genuinely care about the students they teach. The principal goes above and beyond what is required for parents and students when an issue or need arises. There are a variety of clubs and athletics for anyone looking to be involved. Tutoring is available for all students if ever needed. I truly believe if your child is not successful at Spring Valley, it's due to a lack of initiative on the students part. Everything they need for success is at their fingertips, they just have to take the initiative to better themselves. I highly recommend Spring Valley and am grateful for the education they provided to my now young adults.

I'm a sophomore at this school, and it absolutely sucks. The principal doesn't even know how to take care of this school correctly. They gave cohorts to lunches now to stop fighting, but that isn't gonna stop fighting and it hasn't. The only thing it has done is cause people misery. Cohort 2, which I'm in at all times, has to wait until 1 to eat, and even then can't eat in the gym, or anything. The cafeteria is even filled with study hall kids and crowded. Plus, I was a treasure in my club and now I can't even meet with my club, because thanks to this stupid idea, my club meets during cohort 1 lunches and I'm never part of cohort 1, so while my club is going on-- I'm in 3rd block waiting for lunch! They encourage students to join clubs-- and then do this and cause some students to be unable to participate in them.
