Disappointed in vae views leadership and support for parents.
Submitted by parent on May 27, 2024

Overall I believe that Vay view encourages a sense of community between piers and staff. My children enjoy going here and feel that they have friends, are safe, and supported from most of the staff. The teachers we have been with have been really good and supportive. The staff we have worked with are amazing teachers, I feel we have been extremely lucky with this because I have heard some of the worst from other parents particularly in the higher grades. The special Ed department at the school is lacking in my opion, doing the bare minimum to get by and isnt good at keeping you informed about childs progress or overall well-being. I believe maybe this department is just lacking in staff and support. I believe leadership could do much better at being involved and holding the special ed department accountable. I believe leadership could be better informed about working with special ed in general. Asking for extra meetings to go over or to review iep is like pulling teeth. The meetings are extremely unorganized and unprofessional, typically staff is unprepared and I have had countless things said in these meetings that seem unethical, unkind, and use of discomforting verbage. The overall support to include our Spanish speaking students in learning and activities is top teir. If you are looking for diversity, vae view has it and does an extemly good job being alot more inclusive than other schools I have attended. The issues you may face when going to leadership is denial and unwillingness to give you clarification on issues you may be having such as bullying, issues with teachers, issues with policies, and issue with following iep or 504 accommodations. I have been gaslighted, lied to and dismissed more times than I can count. They have a few split classes like 5th and sixth are combined. The school seems packed beyond its capacity. The building itself is run down, bathrooms are dingy, and you really feel like you are walking into the 70s. The school has an outdoor seating area in the center that i wish was utilized more, I wish they woud plant something in the planters and use this as a nice quiet study area, where kids and classrooms could come and go freely. The school councilor is really good checking on students who are struggling as often as needed. Overall the school could use stronger, more involved, and easier to work with leadership. Side note office staff and classroom aids are 10/10. Depending on your students needs this could be a good fit.

Vae View Elementary is an amazing school! I have two children, ages 7 and 9 and they both love going to school here! My 7 year old son has increased his test scores so much since he started here, especially in reading, and my 9 year old daughter, who is also Autistic, now is reading at a level that I never thought she would be able to do. This is due to the amazing teachers at Vae View Elementary and reinforcement at home. I am a very picky parent when it comes to education and safety and personally I must say that if you are thinking about putting your child in this school, I can promise you will not be disappointed!! - Signed, a picky, but very pleased parent. :)

This school is unorganized. Kids run free all over and are unsupervised. They also have a bully problem and the teachers shrug their shoulders when you stress your concerns of your child being mistreated. The students are not the only bullies the teachers and recess duty guards also play a part in judging and mistreating the kids at this school. I would not recommend this school to any loving caring parent who wants to see their children succeed.

My son is in the learning center at this school and is just remarkable the positivity that this school offers for him. He no longer hates school. The school accepts him for who he is, unlike his other.

We moved into the school boundaries of this school just over a year ago. First thing we heard was that it was not a good school, don't take your kid there. We did not do that. Instead we put our child in school, and as the parents of this child we got involved. We volunteered a lot of hours in the classroom and other events. We were the only parents to volunteer in the class during the school year. Our child excelled over all the other children in the class. We had a great teacher who saw that we cared about our child's education and the teacher could see that their efforts were supported at the students home. Yes its in a lower income part of the city and a large % of the children come from difficult circumstances but that is no reason to pull out before you give it a chance. A students success starts with hard work at home first and is then magnified with parent and teacher working together at school.

My Son has been a student at this school for the past three years. This school has failed him. I am in the process of trying to get him into another school. I just wish I would have done it sooner or better yet, never put him in the school in the first place. I just kept thinking it was the teacher and that it would get better. I was obviously wrong.I wish I had someone tell me when he was first starting school to do your research. The school does make the difference. This school is horrible and sad.
