Teachers violate 504 Accommodation Plans violating a student ADA rights. PE teacher substantially lowered students grade for not bring a sign paper back, which violates Idaho Code 29-101 and 32-101, which forbides minors from contracting. The documents the school has the student sign are for all purposes legal contractual agreements.

I find that the staff is very positive and they take care of issues right away including bulling . my boys really like the school and they have been doing good in there classes . teachers are good at helping my boys when they need help. over all i believe i made the best decision of switching my kids to vallivue from marsing. there IEP program is so much better and my son has done alot better than anywhere else they make sure his goal are met and keep him on track.

I find the staff, especially in the front office, to come across as frankly uncaring and a bit rude. Also, their lunch policy and lack of communication to new parents in the district, really should have been a big signal for us to change last year, but unfortunately we didn't and are feeling stuck. I just had an email exchange with a teacher about a project my child is doing and I felt, based on the tone of her reply, that I was a waste of her time. I get that teachers are underfunded and underpaid but I would hope they would be happy to have an interested parent.

Vallivue Middle School is the best school I've ever gone to! Yes, there are a few kids who don't abide by the rules, but it wouldn't be fair to say that it was every student. It has amazing extracurricular activities, and takes notice to students with good grades and great behavior. The teachers are really explicit and fun, making every day filled with an average amount of homework, very little confusion, and a like of learning in specific subjects students may have not enjoyed before. A school gmail is offered to every student, in case there's confusion against a teacher's assignment or group project. VMS uses Google accounts and chromebooks often; assignments are usually typed in Google docs instead of Microsoft Word, and carts of chromebooks are offered to teachers so trips to computer labs are rarely needed. VMS also has a program that makes it easy for your child's grades and attendance to be accessed. Uniforms are required for children to wear, which prevent fights and obscene behavior, help improve grades, and create more positive attitude towards school. I personally like the one minute bell they have, which rings one minute before class ends to create time to pack up. This makes it easier for the students to get to their next class on time. I don't go to VMS anymore, but I would do anything to go back. I highly recommend this school for your child.

I'd honestly have to say this school is really something great. On my first day, I remember was introduced to both the Principle, and the Vice Principle, and I noticed that almost all the teachers there, actually cared for your well being. The Pre- AP classes I was enrolled in were pretty challenging, and I liked that. I got the help from the teachers when I most needed it, and they often called my parents not in result of me getting in trouble, but because they wanted to let them know that I was being successful. This school truly is excellent, and I hope your experience is as good as mine.
