Read what parents are saying about Valley Springs MiddleMy child had a wonderful experience at Valley Springs. I would highly recommend this school.
Posted by a parent on 4/29/2021Valley Springs is a pretty good school with teachers that try their best to help students. Being a former student I would recommend that you at least try Valley Springs.
Posted by a community member on 12/25/2017Valley Springs Middle is run by an administrator that has no respect for children that have different abilities. The test scores do not reflect an accurate account of teaching abilities or environment as the staff goes out of their way to move children of different abilities or backgrounds to other schools and programs within the county. When asked if staff could get extra training and handed resources to do so, he responded with "they're already trained" relying instead on the school police officer to handle any and all situations. It's arrogance at its finest.
Posted by a parent on 3/10/2016First and foremost I want to thank Gregory Toole he has had to tolerate atrocious students that no human being should ever have to deal with.. But even through all that he saved my child's life literally.. He helped her when no one else at the school would as a parent no matter how many times you tell your kids they are an exceptional child they need to hear it from someone else.. My child did a complete turn around and grades rose and thoughts of hurting themselves faded away with his help.. I could never repay him for what he did I will be eternally indebted to him, but this school way better than Koontz that place is a nightmare for kids socially; it is part of why my children were damaged has taken years to repair what Koontz did to my children
Posted by a parent on 5/12/2015As a parent, I have nothing but praise for the educational system in place at VSMS. My son has transformed from being a shy boy to one who exudes confidence. His grades have gone from average to AB honor roll. He's had some of the most influential teachers of his young life. The only negative comment is the food but that can easily be overcome by a bagged lunch from home. Well done all at VS.!

N/AGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageCarolina Day School continues to be life-changing for our family. Our child came to CDS in Middle School and is now in Upper School. Before we came to CDS, school was a constant struggle and honestly, pure drudgery for our child. Being in our fourth year now I can say that my child loves it as much, if not more, than when she first started. CDS is the ideal school for our child because the environment is safe, the instruction is intentional and the setting fosters growth in an inclusive community. We’ve seen the tangible differences in our child’s outlook on education, which has been completely transformative.We believe one of the reasons for this transformation is that the school makes learning fun. I continue to be amazed at the creative, experiential learning activities the teachers provide to ensure engagement and cement learning. The staff are innovative and cultivate a genuine connectedness with the students. At each grade level, it has been my experience that every teacher has been incredibly kind, attentive, but also firm when needed. It is the perfect mix that we had been seeking and finally found. Carolina Day School encourages students to take the initiative, make decisions, and be accountable for their results while simultaneously engaging them intellectually, emotionally, socially, and physically. My one and only regret is that we didn’t make the move sooner.Parent Review1y ago - Nativity Preschool & Kindergarten
