when my child went to vale she experienced bullying every day just because she had a ways of expressing herself, she would come home crying, saying the teachers would treat her differently than the others, the students would call her names, take pictures of her, and she would tell the teachers, counselors, anyone and they would really just shrug it off as if it were nothing. the teachers would cause so much stress on her to the point where she was barely passing her classes, the vice principal was very homophobic to her telling her "girls can not be with girls" even though her and her friend were only holding hands! the vice principal would always shoot her dirty looks. the counselors did not make her feel safe nor welcomed, everytime she was called down she would have full blown panic attacks. overall this school is terrible. they dont care for their students nor do they care for their employees whether its behavior, grades, etc. this school is a horrible school from my experience and i definitely do not recommend.

My student has to deal with racial bullying EVERY DAY at this school. The teachers are overwhelmed. I've heard so many negative things about this school from my neighbors. We decided to give it a try to see maybe it was just them, but now I regret it.

My son attended Vale Middle School 2012/2013, while we were stationed in San Antonio. He loved the school, the teachers, and the staff. Extremely supportive. He was in Pre-AP courses and felt like his teachers provided a great atmosphere and would allow for him to further challenge himself and obtain additional enrichment as he wanted. NO, he is not GT or enrichment.....which is great, it is not required and teachers recognize when a student wants more information and challenges to enhance their learning experience. We were transferred, so he attended a different middles school this year. Now we are permanently moving back to San Antonio and are specifically going to relocate to the Vale Middle School area so our daughter will be at Vale for all 3 years starting this fall 2014.

Vale Middle School has been a great school for my son. He has enjoyed it. The teachers are great and I love the fact that they update parent connections. With that tool I would have never known my child was missing homework. I absolutely love it.
