teachers at this school change frequently during the year. the principal here is not very proactive, she takes a more reactive approach. There is no program for special needs children. They are in the mainstream classes and dont have the opportunity to flourish in a class more tailored to their needs. They take a reactive approach to bullying. children are hardly ever reprimanded for misbehavior, if at all. Overall, the school is seriously lacking and the facility itself doesnt have much to offer.

My 5 children have been attending Pleasant Valley School consistently for the last ten years. We chose this school for it's small size and high API scores. There isn't much our kids can and did get away with at this school because of it's small size, which was great. Parent involvement is very good and part of that may stem from the fact that the school doesn't have a bus system. I know that can be difficult for some families, but it allows for a close connection with parents and teachers on an almost daily basis. Without a doubt this school will give your child a strong base on which to build upon. And currently they have a relatively new teacher for the 7/8 class who is superb. He engages the students on a multiple of levels and excels at science. We are so blessed to have him at our school. While some parents have felt at this level the kids are best at a large middle school to transition to Paso Robles high, however we did not find that to be a problem for our three older children who adjusted very well into high school. We are and have been very happy to allow our kids to grow into young adults at Pleasant Valley School.

This school is by far the bast school in North County! We made a mistake by leaving it it try out a closer school. After three weeks of the new school we are returning to PV. If you send your kids to Lillian Larsen you should visit Pleasent Valley to see what you are missing!

Great school! But, like all the other schools, the budget cuts has seriously affected it. Great scores on the standardized test though! Once again, the school's environment has changed a lot since last year...

This school is probably the best school in the area, by far. We have been nothing but impressed by all aspects of the school
