Pleasant Valley Elementary School

Overall I was happy with the school this year. I did however have a huge problem with my child's work being graded properly. I alway have my child rework math problems she misses, and try to help her learn what she's doing wrong. Here's my issue...I noticed on papers that were labeled as tests had problems marked wrong that were absolutely right...more than one on each test (she missed 3 and 2 were actually right). I let it slide but I began to notice it on homework and tests every week. I throw them away after working with her on them. Between my husband and I, we had niticed that on at least 12 papers. After consulting eith eachother the next day there were two tests and 3 homework asignments on which she should have made 100's and was marked down as missing 1 to 3 on each one...so we made the decision to take this group of papers in to the teacher and have her change the grades in the gradebook. The teacher was nice about it and said she would. She blamed it on the answer keys. Which was an unexceotable answer...it's second grade math...there's no excuse...I wonder what my girls true average was in class without all the mess ups!

I think that Pleasant Vally is the best school in Amarillo. The teachers are caring besides the best. They keep parents well informed and involved in the education of their child. There is always someone there to listen to the parents and the kids. It is the best 5 star school in Amarillo!
