Spring Valley Middle School

Staff is dedicated to helping children succeed in all aspects. Educationally and Socially.

Three stars may seem low but the school is 'average.' It is not a bad school at all. I've had a child at the school for three years and I've been impressed with the teachers, staff, and principal. While I recognize that there are many terrific students at the school, I would be remiss if I did not mention that there are quite a few that are not. If the administrators weren't so on top of things, the school would be a disaster. If you have a good student with strong character, he/she will be fine and will get a decent education. If you worry about your child getting caught up with the wrong crowd, look elsewhere.

I'm at s.V.M.S(spring valley middle school) on my first year as a sixth grader. So far this school is fantastic!!!! all the teachers are really nice and very helpful. They're very polite, reasonable, and a joy to be at the school. Kids really have no problem with this school-except for the ones that disagree. Almost every one of us has a good grade in our report card. So, i'm sure you would want your kids to go here!

This school is horrible. The administrators are very rude and many teachers do a poor job teaching. The school itself is in horrible shape. Very little effort and funding is put into its upkeep. There are next to no extracurricular activities. In my opinion, SVMS doesn't even meet the bare standards of a decent school. I would definitely advise parents to transfer their kids to another school.

I attended Spring Valley Middle School about six years ago and I had a wonderful experience. While most of friends from Murdock Elementary decided to transfer to private school or go the 'safer' Parkway Middle School route, I dutifully attended SVMS. My educational experience was just as strong as any of my peers who attended other middle schools, and in the long run the friends who I went to SVMS with are currently attending more prestigious universities. When I look back at my 15 years of schooling, most of my most influential teachers were those I encountered at Spring Valley.

Staff is wonderful overall. Academic counseling dept exceptional. My son went into SVMS in the 8th grde, in the 'Gate Prog' and had good teachers that really care. Sadly, funding has not been there for the arts for this school. Band overcrowded. No extracurricular ie sports that I was made aware of. Not sure of parental involvement but staff seemed dazed and taken aback at my consistent participation in my son's schooling. But they responded w/ immediate, positive and very willing attitudes. Extremely refreshing after terrible experiences at Murdock Elem up the street.
