Valley View Elementary School

This school is so bad, the principal is very disrespectful and so much other teachers to. The school is very dirty and the amount of bullying and fights at that school has going on is so bad. I do not recommend this school at all for kids and including sped kids to

This School has too many problems! Fights breaking out and teachers getting assaulted and only giving a 2 day suspension, kids just seem to roam around the halls and teachers do nothing about it when these kids should be in class! The foul language I hear coming out of some of the students as young as 2nd grade in front of teachers and nothing gets said about it! Always seeing masks thrown all over school property instead of disposing properly! Forcing kids to wear masks that are proven to not work at all which is borderline child abuse and it's making my child develop headaches regularly! Trash overflowing the dumpsters! This is just what I see on a daily basis! There have been a few times my child didn't come to school and purposely didn't call to see if I got a call notifying me of his absence and to no surprise I never received calls to let me know! It's pretty scary to know this because if a child were to get kidnapped the parents wouldn't know until their kid doesn't come home! You are failing our kids and us parents by the way you run the school and do nothing to improve this school! To consider this school a "Great" school is laughable because it's anything but great! In fact it's a disappointment at best!

My son has been going here since PreK. Every year he has had bully issues and the school seems to not care until he is fed up with it and finally defends himself or retaliates, resulting in him being suspended and the others having no repercussions of note. The teachers rave about how smart and well behaved he is. The zero bullying policy is an absolute joke. Today, a girl in a higher grade punched him multiple times before school started. He tried getting her attention a few minutes later and now suddenly my son allegedly is punching a girl. My son isn't perfect but he knows I'd put him 6ft under figuratively for laying a finger on a female. He gets suspended so I go up and request to see video of the incident to which I get a huge run around about I have to request it when such and such is in the next day to suddenly I'll have to contact the legal department to request it. Then when the security officer who handles the incident is talking to me, she claims my son never said anything about the girl hitting him and in the same sentence admits to knowing he was hit. At this point, I just want the info to request the video and a withdrawal form that they supposedly didn't have any of until I said he is withdrawing from the district once I can make the appropriate judgement of the incident from video rather than a bunch of hearsay from the other student's friends and supposedly the only parent to witness the incident. Let's not even get started on other issues like no crossing guards at a crosswalk where a kid got hit just a few years ago from a lack of crossing guards or lack of traffic direction at drop off and pick up.

My son has been here since kindergarten and I could not ask for a better environment for my child. You have to take the good with the bad here, sure they do not have extra-curricular activities but safety, caring teachers, and administrators is what originally sold me...not to mention the small class size. I will say however I do worry about the curriculum but as a parent that is in education we do alot at home so I know where my child is academically. I do worry about the school shutting down due to size though.
