Great Valley Middle School

Caring teachers and a wonderful program. The children are always learning something new and exciting.

I was at villa for two years. Unless you want your kid to turn out as someone who cant express themselves, don't put them in villa. The social atmosphere is absolutely horrible. My first year I spent half of the year with no friends, and there was barely any help with that. I was not welcomed warmly. I felt weird, and odd. I did make friends though, at the end of the year. But I lost those friends and ended my second year with 2 friends. We were all outcasted because we were different. I was being talked about, bullied behind my back, and outcasted. Teachers do not do anything about this, they barely even recognize the situations (or care). Nor do they parents get note of the bad social atmosphere, they hear it from their children directly. It got so bad I moved schools, and im happier than ever. I learned im not weird and odd, it was just the girls at my former school who made me think that (and unfortunaly the teacher's too). Villa may not say it, but villa is about blending in. Not being yourself. Do not send your children here, my little sister is starting to get bullied by her own friends now. There ate false rumors being spread about her. There are many better schools, do not go here. (Stuff I want to add; one of the nuns there told one of my friends that she hated me. All because I looked different. I was incredibly happy with my looks, but she wasn't. Anyways, hey villa, thanks for how miserable you made me. Also this is a very obviously homophobic school, careful!)
