Parent involvement
As a staff member (not a teacher) I can address some issues--parent/teacher conferences are after school because during school the teachers are teaching (surprise). The dress code is as strictly enforced as the school board will allow us to enforce it. I have never worked with a more dedicated staff and admin. They work very late regularly and truly mentor these kids. The only parents I have ever heard complain are those whose children have had discipline issues, sadly. People move into our area all the time just to attend spring valley!
We moved here from California five years ago and comparitively the school system in Las Vegas is horrid. The counselors do not know what is going on with the students assigned to them. The teachers aren't helpful at all. You are only able to schedule teacher/parent conferences right after school (the middle of my work day) and they only stay for 15 minutes, looking at their watches the entire time. I feel my child will be ill-prepared for college because of the lack of enthusiasm and effort made by the teaching/administrative staff. The sports programs are good. The level of parent involvement is good as well. I volunteer for activities at the high school and I see plenty of parent presence. I am happy there is a dress code, however, I wish it were better enforced.
This school is probably one of the worst in the district. The administration is terrible, they have no consideration/regard for the parents. They don't keep in contact. The dresscode is entirely too strict.
This school need serious help. As a parent it's difficult to solve problems because you feel like you have to battle everyone to get any help. The school lunches are disgusting - soggy pizza & soft french fries are not my idea of a healthy lunch.
The way this school makes the kids dress is very good. I think this should be in high schools around las vegas
