River Valley Christian School

Ballman is an amazing school!! The principal and teachers always put students first! Go Ballman Bears!

Worst school in Fort Smith Arkansas experienced

If I could give a zero star rating for sunny made and it's principle I would the school is slowly going down hill yr by yr. What started out as an amazing school when my child was in kindergarten, has slowly become a nightmare because of overcrowding and staff with bad attitudes and a principle that could care less. The school was way better off when Dr. Edwards was there. Wish they would have given her the principle position and gotten rid of this excuse of a principle Mrs. Smith.

the asst principal needs to relocate he does not fit in at this school 3 yrs overdue

To the Principal and School Administration:I should not be responsible for teaching my child at home the very material she was supposed to learn at school. I have months of documentation—including texts, phone calls, and messages via the Band App—showing her teacher repeatedly telling me to cover key academic content at home because it was not taught in the classroom.This teacher had only eight students. Let me repeat that—eight. There is absolutely no excuse for this level of neglect. I brought these concerns to the school multiple times, yet nothing changed. Instead of acknowledging the issue, the teacher and administration circled the wagons to defend one another.Teaching is a responsibility, not a title. With seven hours a day and only eight students, there should have been ample time for instruction and individualized support. Instead, I’ve seen last-minute cramming for standardized tests just to push students through to the next grade. It’s heartbreaking. Our children deserve more than that.This is not just a rant—it’s a genuine concern from a parent who isn’t interested in playing small-town politics. I care about real change, because our kids, including mine, deserve better.And to the principal: Was this the right platform to say it on? Because all other ones have been ignored.
