We could not be happier with the education that our two children received at VBMS. The teachers, the administration, and the community of parents/students were everything that you could hope for. I cannot say enough good things about this school and this school district.

I am very pleased with my daughter studying here. The teachers and staff are very helpful, friendly and excellent. There are always some bad charater students but fortunately my daughter found good ones that support each other during learning experiences.

My daughter enjoyed studying here and all the teachers do their excellent jobs. The orchestra class is great. Recommended school!

I am a student in 7th grade attending this school. There are about five students who bully me. Not physically, but verbally. I've been called racist so many times. I'm not racist! I told my parents and my therapist the whole situation and they all agree that I'm not racist. I don't care where you're from, as long as you're nice to me, I won't dislike you. I have told adults what they do to me, and it seems the only advice I ever get it "Just ignore it" When a child, or anyone for that matter, has a problem and the only support they get is to just ignore it, the child will believe that nobody cares, and will just suffer in silence. The amount of work we get in unbelievable. Not only is it difficult and stressful, no student wants to do schoolwork in the first place. Some students I have talked with are kind of in a situation that they're crying for help but no one hears them, including me. It's like screaming in space, no one can hear you. I'm sorry if my grammar/spelling is off or I don't make sense. It's Sunday and my anxiety is through the roof of the Empire State Building. Thank you so much if you read all of this.
