I enjoyed going to Valley. It is different as a parent I see things differently. However compared to other schools I would say Valley is above the rest.

They given too much homework in my opinion. That is what school is for. If my child has a question about the homework I can't answer it so it goes against them for not being done or being wrong.

I find most of the teachers are effective. I have noticed some either like you or don't like you.

I agree to this if a child participates in a sports program. Otherwise they don't teach respect.

I am not sure what leadership this is about.

There is a great department to help with leaning differences however not all teachers are helpful.

I have not dealt with this. I can not agree or disagree.

I've graduated from this school. Honestly, the only thing they have going for them is the music program, because they have good trips, IF you can afford it. They dont handle bullying at all, and staff doesn't know how to handle students with mental illness very well. My experience there was entirely unfavorable. They certainly need work, but they choose not to see that.

There are many nights where there is no homework or class time is used to do homework.

My children would agree with this. Except when it comes to theatrical tryouts where there is clear and obvious bias.

Valley is overrated. The block schedule doesn't work. Students take an AP course in the fall but exams aren't until spring. This puts the students at a huge disadvantage. Languages have to be taught all year - they're not. A student will often have at least six months (a semester and summer) between levels - ask anyone in education - this does not work - at all. Classroom management is weak - even at the highest levels - kids are regularly on their phones in class...expectations have to be raised at all levels.
