Spring Valley is absolutely amazing. My children both go to or have been through this school and I would not put them in any other school in the district. Their leadership program is absolutely amazing and it reflects in their staff.

We heard so many great things about this school and were super excited to enroll out kids there. We were very disappointed. The PTA involvement was fantastic, a little cliquey, but really student centered. That's where it stopped. The instruction was poor. The "high standards" we kept hearing people talk about we never saw. Student behavior was poor and the staff did little to improve it. Lunch with my child was a nightmare and we were segregated when we ate there. The school principal gives the appearance of being there an caring, but I never saw him actually take a stand. It is clear that the teachers are in charge and do exactly what they want. We made the conscious decision to pull out children not only from this school but from this very divided and sere gates district. Do your due diligence. Very very poor school choice.

This school is warm and inviting overall. However, most of the teachers are teaching the test and not really teaching the child. I believe that the school is used to having scores that come from the enviornment that they "serve" and aren't really sure how to meet students' needs. Sooner or later this will catch up to them.
