Previously I had no problems with the school but recently that has changed. Their is a teacher that all administrators think is very good but his students think otherwise. He does not teach the student, gives the work without much instruction, and has attitude problems. I had reported this to the councelor but nothing had changed.

From experience a 7th grade teacher gives a lot of homework without instructions.

Previous teacher in the past were effective but a 7th grade teacher does not teach his students and was gone for 3 months. He just sits on his phone and gives students work.

They have different skills for each week but teachers do not really go over them with their students.

There are lots of leadership opportunities the school offers such as NJHS and student council.

MY DAUGHTER HAS ATTENDED VDP FOR THE LAST 3 YEARS, AND I WOULD NOT GO AYWHERE ELSE FOR ANYTHING! I have had nohing less than a positive experience with VDP from day one. The staff is respectful and polite, and the eachers are amazing. I would especially recommend Ms. Humble, Kindergarten. She has the patience of a sain and amazing skills with communicating to our little ones!!!!!!

My little brother is a current student at this school. Has not had a teacher for 2 months and counting. He is not learning much. Homework that was given to him days ago is still not checked he just carries it around.

Ranked A school!!! I wouldn't recommend your child to go to any other school. Respectful staff, encouraging teachers, well educated students and great school spirit! My daughter has been attending VDP since 1st grade. Now in 8th receives all fours on her reportcard.

I went to this school from kindergarten to 4th grade, while I made great friends and enjoyed it very much, I realize now that this school had not taught me essential lessons. When I started going to my new school, I was unprepared-a lot! I still love this school and will look back on it with fond memories.

i loved this school aseptically my 8th grade science teacher Mr.Erickson. Now that i am no longer attending this school i hope my brothers and sister will have Mr. Erickson he is a fun and enjoyable teacher.My cousin had him when he was at copper king and he too enjoyed him.Some students didn't like the way he teaches becouse he disaplense harshly but most of the students like him. as far as the other teachers they are ok.The students are a little rough around the edges but you get used to them after a couple days.

As a parent I find it hard to say anything too positive about Villa de Paz. I enjoyed my childrens Kindergarten teacher, out up with the Second Grade teacher, embraced the 7th & 8th Grade Staff, that is until their lastest addition arrived, Mr. E. This one teacher has sucked the life out of the students motivation and the office staff's ignorance or unwillingness to address the issue has destroyed a once closely knitt staff. This school has begon to rot around one bad apple.

this was a terrible school to attend. discipline was hardly enforced, bullying was open and never punished when i attended. extracurricular activities were hardly present, the gifted program wasn't worthwhile... send your kids somewhere else.

As child who attend this school from 1st thru 8th grade I have to say I'm not impressed with the schooling I was given at Villa de Paz.. Tell me how is it that none of the teachers found my dyslexia til i was in high school?

This school has the greatest teachers that are willing to work with parents to achieve the goals students need to meet.
