I went to this school for 9 years and this school was horrid, the teachers were horrible and the students were to. And if you were getting bullied, they would trust the other person and blame you. This this school made me suicidal and depressed

This school will NOT protect your child from being bullied. As far as some of the staff, they cannot be trusted. I went as far as the school board. I was told if this school is so bad and my child is having such a hard time why do I keep him there. So, I had no choice but to take my child out of this school.

This school has been a great change for us and my children really enjoy all the extras this school has to offer. We are glad we moved to this school and the teachers have been great.

The academics are ok. Your kid will get the basics. It's the environment that is a problem. Bullying is a problem and the bullies are the ones who are protected and listened to, get the attention, and then cheered if they no longer get in trouble. The victims are silenced and are the ones who end up being treated like the problem.

We rate this school a 1 out of 10. The staff are unwilling to solve a problem that your kid may have as far as bullying. We personally had problems on top of problems that were not getting solved. All of this really did effect my son's wellbeing and education at this school sadly. They gave us no choice but to home school our child because of how bad it was. They made my son's and our first experience in a school terrible. They don't practice what they preach. They don't practice leadership nor the 7 habits that they hold so highly for the school's sole purpose.

We love Valley Life! They have grown so much as a school over the years and it is exciting to have our kids a part of that. The staff is wonderful and always working to improve. I know my kids are loved and protected while at school. My kids have grown tremendously because of the awesome teachers!

Great school that has many opportunities that other schools lack, such as art, dance, Spanish, and music at every grade level. The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People make for a great leadership culture that teaches students how to be a great leader throughout their life both at school and in the community.

My eldest son spent 7th and 8th grade here. My questions and concerns were always promptly addressed. Teachers kept constant communication with me either concerns or praises. Now my middle son is attending and he hasn't had anything negative to say!!!
