My daughters transfered into Valley Park while in 3rd & 4th grade. The principal could not have been kinder! He personally toured the building with them and made them feel at home. Additionally, the teachers were caring and warm, but never forgot their purpose, which is to provide a good solid foundation of learning.

My son has multiple learning disabilities. At Valley Park, they have wonderful special education program. In a main stream grade he would not be able to keep up with the class. However, in his class he works at his own pace and is excelling. His teachers are the kindest teachers, I have met with 3 children in the school district. They always keep me informed of his progress. If there is any problems they also contact me. He receives speech, OT, Physical therapy. I am very proud of my son. I can't thank Valley Park enough.

About these ratings

Test scores

Oops! We currently do not have any test score information for this school. Public and charter school test scores for most states come from the state Department of Education. The most common reasons we might not have this data are either that not enough students took the test or that the school was recently opened, and its scores have not yet been reported.
