Valley View Middle School

Extremely disappointed in this school. So far we've only seen minimal effort from teachers and no one willing to teach a student how to learn. Information is thrown at them and in one format only (even if clarification is asked for!) Every night I'm teaching my daughter what she should be learning at school (and she's GATE)! The exception is the science program. Furthermore, most of the girls are extremely clicky and mean.

Very disappointed with Valley View. A principal that tells parents what they want to hear and doesn't follow through. Poor support for students struggling academically. Mediocre GATE program. How does a 50 slide powerpoint have any value? API scores should be 50 points higher based on the students going in to the school. State standards are often ignored. Good band program and some good teachers.

I am currently a student at Valley View and I love this school. It is a great school if your child is willing to learn. And everyone treats you like adults here trying to get you ready for High School. This school has great motivation and teachers are very helpful. Mrs. Webb is a very strict principal which is why students don't like her but parents DO!!! I recommend this school to everyone! It is a great school!

my son is currently in Valley View and it's an awful school! They gave him an hour detention for giving a girl a hug! This school is unfair, STRICT, and most of all they go way over board for the little things! I do NOT suggest this school.

The principle Mrs. Webb takes so much prode in her school. She is strict but that is because she wants kids to be in an environment where they can learn without distractions. It has been a California Distiguished school for the last 4 years.

O.K., let's see, the principal means business and does NOT ALLOW any mischief at all! The kids do not like her, parents LOVE her. As the parent of a child with challenges, I have been extremely happy with the aides and peer student program. The teachers need more time to adapt curriculum for their students : (. The campus is wonderful and we had a great experience overall.

I am a student at valley view middle school, and I really hope you take what i have to say in consideration for your children. I am very unhappy at valley view middle school. They are very strict and inconsiderate about our problems. It will be very long if i go on and on about all that happens, but to sum it things up, Mrs. Webb is a very inconsiderate, strict, and,if i may, just plain mean to me and my friends. Most of my teachers that i have in my schedule rotation are very understanding and wonderful. There are a few exceptions. The kids around the school are not as wonderful as the teachers, lets just say, but its like that in any school. The yard duties look like honestly, that there just looking for the chance to get us at anything.To sum up, i do not suggest this school.

I currently attend valley view and I think its a fantastic school! the school is strick though.. but thats what most schools are like. mrs.webb is a very kind strong principal that keeps this school in line. I love it here the teachers are great and helpful... and they help as much as they can to raise my grade.. I think if our wondering what school in simi valley is rifgt, trust me this school is WONDERFUL

I have an 8th grader at V.V., and he is very happy here. He attends V.V. since 7th grade. Mr. Schuster, music teacher is the best. Mrs. Webb, the principal is great, too. My only concern is that there are couple teachers let students to retake their test if the grade is c- or below. This 2nd chance will hurt them more than help them in my opinion. Other than that, this school is a great school.
