We had a pretty negative experience here. We had a good experience with our primary teacher, who effectively diversified the curriculum to meet our advanced learner, and worked with other teachers to enable them additional opportunities. She was enthusiastic and caring. However, we did not have good experiences with the administration or special needs support staff, who were not only ineffective and biased but overtly condescending in meetings. I had an employee literally laugh at my usage of a specific type of testing terminology. Additionally, the health aide staff was not equipped to follow directions on the requisite health forms for my special needs student, and literally endangered their life by not following the simple instructions as given by the doctor. I have nothing but negative feelings for this school, unfortunately. If you have an average child with no special/health needs, you might have an ok experience here. But if you need to take advantage of support programs that are supposed to be offered to all students fairly, please be aware that there will be battles. In fact, I was told I would not get the support services unless I hired an "advocate." I had an entirely opposite experience at the other close by LCPS elementary school, which we have now embraced and attend. Lastly, if you have health issues that are supposed to be supported by the health office, please know that they are not knowledgeable or reliable.

The teachers worked hard to transition students to distance learning, back in person and then distance again. The teachers spend many hours creating new lessons to teach LCPS curriculum. The teachers are happy, engaging, encouraging and have good communication. We are happy to be at MTV!

Bullying is an issue. Parents are frustrated but dont realize many other parents have kids who are picked on and dont want to go to school.

When we first started at MTV in 2012, I would have given it 5 stars. It was a wonderful place. Since then, there is a new administration and the school has changed for the worse. Many teachers seem unhappy, kids are no longer treated as kids. There is a very competitive environment in the school, the top 3 in anything are the only ones that get recognized. My kids are not athletic and have learning disabilities and get ignored.
