The absolute BEST! BEST principal, best staff. I can't say enough good things about Bamber. They strive for and obtain excellence. The positive leadership starts at the top and permeates the whole school. They will never give up on any student, are firm yet fair. Everyone is given an environment in which to to take their talent and abilities as far as they can. A large school means more options and more opportunities. Parents are very involved and encouraged to do so. Expectations are clear. Principal is caring and ALWAYS positive. Circumstance had us in three private schools before Bamber; Bamber tops them all in my opinion. It is a rare find, a treasure! It retains some of the "best of the best" staff in the area. Going out of their way to make your child succeed is the rule rather than the exception.

Bamber Valley has a fantastic staff and wonderful students. Despite many recent changes, the staff continues to provide a great education for our kids.

Bamber Valley has a wonderfully dedicated PTA and many active parent volunteers. It boasts being the ESOL school and has a great hearing impaired program. The students take an active role in their community as well and do many service projects throughout the year, some partnering with other community organizations and some independently. It's a large school for the area (population-wise) yet it feels close-knit and very friendly and inviting. Great staff, great kids. Just an all around great school

I have a special needs child and the school has helped my son come out of his shell and prosper. I cannot say enough about the special education staff. Where there was doubt and concern, now there is only hope and a bright future for him. I am so greatful we moved here. He hated school and now he loves it. We could not ask for anything better.

They could be doing much more to earn money by collecting more then just BoxTops & Soup Labels. There are Capri Sun Drink Pouches, Used cell phones, laptops, empty ink/toner cartridges. They should look at TerraCycling.com What is PTA REALLY doing?

It is great to teach our kids to give to others-within limits. Support without demanding! I boycott school fundraisers; donate elsewhere to show real value in helping where needed.

From the asking perspective (such as schools asking students to donate to causes) frequent appeals for donations creates real problems for families who cannot afford to donate to every appeal or cause. Stop pressuring kids for money.
