I just moved to the Vancleave area this year. My son had previously attended a Long Beach elementary school. I am very pleased with his transition to a new town, school, teachers and community members. I can only credit this success to the dedicated staff and students at VMS. Thank you for all you do for our children.

I have one child who just finished this middle school and one who is entering 7th grade. The school and teachers are a great learning environment. My only complaint is that they don't have a school choir or enough classes pertaining to the arts.
