Pleasant Valley School

Great school, teachers and administration go above and beyond. Harrison is easily the best elementary school in South Jersey.

Our daughter has been at friends school for 2 years and she is thriving. She is above grade level academically and has made strong friendships. The class sizes are small and the teachers have been wonderful.

This school is deeply disappointing.When I attended years ago, my sister was constantly bullied, and the teachers did nothing but ignore it. Twenty years later, I believed things might have changed, so I sent my child there hoping for a positive Christian education. I was wrong — it was even worse.My child was repeatedly harassed by other students. They reported it to teachers, and nothing was done. One of the coaches even joined in, mocking and belittling my child. That experience alone says everything about the culture of this school.It has been two years since we left, and the impact is still ongoing. We recently had to change my child’s phone number and delete all of their social media accounts because former students from this school continued to harass them.This tells me the school may speak about Christian values, but it does not practice or teach them. If you are considering sending your child here, please think carefully. There are other Christian schools that truly teach compassion, respect, and how Christians should treat others. Unfortunately, this school appears to focus only on families with money, while treating everyone else as a burden.
