Friendship Valley Elementary School

I am not sure why the last 2 have given bad reviews. Perhaps the staff had a bad day that day. My 2 kids have been attending FVE for 4 years now and I couldn't be happier. All their teachers were helpful and supportive. the front desk, lunch ladies and volunteers are all super nice to our family. One of my kids even has ADD and there is open communication on both ends and the teachers have the best interest at helping her out and moving on to middle. granted every school isn't perfect but I really love this school and can't wait til my last child goes through them.

After a change in adminstration this year if my child wasn't already attached to the same amount of friends that she has here, I would change schools. There are a few great teachers who actually like children at this school, the office staff is horrible to the parents and the children. "Friend"ship Valley..totally does not live up to the name.

This is a terrible school and the administration did not properly provide support for my daughter when she truly needed it. I would move before I sent my littlest one there!

I am a new teacher at FVE and thus far have thoroughly enjoyed my experience here. The students are wonderful and the staff is professional and for the most part very friendly. It is obvious that as a school community, we are providing each student with the highest quality education.

I am grandmother of Carmen Mora (gr.4 student) and I attended a musical concert on 6/4/04 morning. It was not only entertaining but the quality was magnificent. The band and chorus groups sounded like a high school concert and I attribute that to the dynamic and enthusiastic direction by both Mr. Stimmel and Ms. Isacs. I was impressed with the quality and ability of students learning to play their instruments as well as they did and the enthusiasm they showed in their performances. Both teachers certainly displayed their love of music and teaching. I had attended another elementary school concert earlier this week and it certainly could NOT compare in quality and/or performance. I was also impressed with the fact that the principal, Dr. Dorsey had not only accompanied the band with her piano playing but she also personally brought a chair over for me to sit in during the show.
