We sent our son to Valleywood, even though it was not our "home" school. The staff is supportive, involved and clearly has a good understanding of how to teach and involve their middle school students in learning. My son loved his middle school experience. I think that speaks highly of his teachers!!! We miss having a student at Valleywood!!

Valleywood is an excellent school and in my experience as an 8th grade in this building I would honestly say they do a wonderful job of involving the students in activities and truly care about thee student's education.

Valleywood offers a wonderful variety of extracurricular activities in addition to regular sports, such as bowling, cooking, jazz band, musical, and a National Junior` Honors Society chapter. Top notch teachers include Mrs. Battdorf who specializes in gifted education, and Mr. Proctor who has developed an excellent band and others. Healthy diversity in the student population. School facility includes several beautiful new additions including cafe. Zero tolerance for bullying.

Valleywood is a fairly good school for it's size, but for the most part the teachers are average at best and discipline needs to be more consistent.
