Blue Valley is hype. The schools get good ratings in order to keep property values up.

DIvided lunches. I felt a disconnect with my personal and school life where for me and everyone else it sucked. I felt like my needs as a human were neglected. Great academics but come on blue valley district.

Prairie Star is like, The best school ever! We have the nicest staff, Friendly and helpful, and it's a great school. The teachers find ways to make the curriculum exciting for you and really want to give you the least homework possible. They offer 5 types of music classes; Jazz band, Regular band, Prairie Star Singers, Choir, and Orchestra. PSMS also offers two different foreign languges at both begining and continuing levels, Spanish and French. They also offer Food and Consumer Science (You cook and sew in this class) and Technology Education (Working with wood, technology, ect.) and Art Class, and Speech and Drama (Acting and Speech class) and lastly Computer Technology (a computer and typing class.) Also at Prairie Star, You get one study hall class for 45 minutes every other day. On select Tuesday's (usually 1 or 2 each month) all students get out of school at 1:10 PM. Dr. Lynn Rantz is a very good principal and has a great balance of strict and niceness to her. If you live 2.5 miles (or farther) away from PSMS, You can get AM and PM bussing for free. PSMS is a very good school for everyone.

I agree with the principal reviews. When she hears one side of the story, she immediately agrees and are not open-minded with the other side. This is why I do not go to this school
