Valley View Elementary School

Posted June 14, 2007

As the 2006/2007 school year comes to an end, all I can say is that VV is wonderful. This is my sons second year here, being here for 1st and 2nd grades, and we have been truley blessed with the wonderful teachers he has had. This school is very parent involved and has great pride. It is wonderful to see the Princepal or Vice Princepal welcoming the children to school every morning, it shows they're involved with the kids. My son is very excited about school 95% of the time. I would reccommend this school to anyone. Thanks VV...keep up the great work.

My son attended VV for 2 1/2 years before we moved to the other side of town. Big mistake! After experiencing Lancaster school district for just 1/2 an academic year, we are moving (at great expense) back to Westside Union. VV has a lot of parent involvement, and aside from one bad experience with one teacher, I had tons of feedback from the school; and I felt the teachers were grateful to see parent involvement. Also, VV was the only school around to offer an after-school program, very handy for working parents. Maybe it's not 'fair' to compare after such a terrible experience elsewhere, but we can't wait to get back into the district, and hopefully, Valley View itself. I believe Westside is the best district in the AV, and VV elementary is the best school my son has attended yet.

I was very disappointed in quality of teaching as well as the burned out teacher attitude expressed from 80% of the staff. I did come across a few teachers who seemed to love their field, but for the most part I saw far too many teachers with bad dispositions. My daughter's Kindergarten teacher (1st Yr) crumpled her spelling test and threw it away because she wrote ahead. My daughter was devastated not to mention horribly embarrassed! One of many unprofessional and very disturbing situations my child endured in Kindergarten! The principal is useless in these matters as she is oblivious to the screaming teachers around her. Some of the teachers need additional courses on discipline and responding better to children instead of intimidation and yelling. Other teachers at this school should consider a new profession.

I found this school to be awesome,my children transferred from the Lancaster school district.It met my expectations and more.I find the west side district a little more enthusiastic about teaching children.
