I attended Valley for 2 1/2 years, and I have to say, I loved it there. All the teachers and great and really know what they're doing. There are a plethora of clubs to choose from. The band director is great (as of 2009) and the AIG Program, Workshop, is really challenging. I loved attending this school. Even though it really isn't diverse, we students understand the concept of accepting non-white students. I love Valley.

I understand I am a student and maybe I should not right this review, but I have the right to share an opinion. I go to Valley Middle School. I hated 6th grade, but 7th grade is wonderful. I finally realized that school drama is not so important as is the schoolwork that really counts. I learned that from being in this school. I enjoy attending this local school each day and can not wait for 8th grade!

Valley Middle School is a great school for many reasons because it has has amazing teachers and staff members and it's run by an amazing principal and vice principal who keep things in perfect order. The children learn so many things in such fun ways and before you know it, they'll be enjoying school as much as they do summer. They do fun projects, do fun activities, and even teach their parents what they learned that day. It's a very cool school because you go on very cool field trips and if you get straight A's, they throw you a pizza party and you get certificates. Believe me, my children love Valley Middle School so much and they even visit there old teachers when they have time. I've become friends with many of my children's teachers and they are so nice and thoughtful of the children, so go to Valley!
