Valley Charter Elementary School

To damm it with faint praise - Valley Charter is better than most public schools. Unfortunately, here is a lot of lip service about differentiating instruction for learning differences but very little real understanding or meaningful support. As a former parent, I found the Principal and teaching staff to be difficult and obstructive, displaying a willful ignorance to the harm they were doing to my child. There is no meaningful support provided for struggling children within the classroom.

This is by far the best decision we've made regarding our children. Our local is school is only 3 blocks away but we felt there was something missing. Our children love coming to school everyday! The community here is unparalleled to any other school we have experienced . The teachers are nurturing and creative. The teacher student ratio is great. Leslie Lainer is an excellent principal, she is highly involved with the parents and students . We always look forward to her monthly principal's coffee.

This is by far the best decision we have made for our son. The caring nurturing environment has been extraordinary. Being in a child centered, project based learning has really helped him blossom. He loves school. He is excited to read, write, experience math and science. Apply!

Both of my kids attend Valley Charter and the school has met all of our expectations. The community is tightly-knit, there is tremendous parent involvement and it strives for a child-centered, hands-on approach to learning. My children look forward to school and have thrived both academically and socially. I highly recommend this school for families who want their children to develop their own ideas and ways of thinking.

VCS has been an exceptional experience for my son and his education. We transferred from Blue Ribbon Award winning school, which is Pinecrest and I saw no difference in the level of education, just in the level of parent involvement and caring faculty and staff. Unfortunately, do to job relocation we had to move out of state, but I would highly recommend Valley Charter for your child's/children's early education.
