My kids have attended Little Valley since the school opened 7 years ago. It is a wonderful school and the teachers are very knowledgable. My only concern has been the bullying that both of my kids have gone through. The school is very cliquish and if you child doesn't belong to the popular clique they will be excluded. They staff does try to resolve the issues when it is brought to their attention.

This school has awesome teachers! My child has learned so much! My only problem is the bullying. We came from another school in Ivins and my child had many friends and fit in well. The first day at little valley and everyday since he has came home upset and in a bad mood. Many of the children there tend to exclude, and talk offensively. Teachers and councilors have been very helpful, but the problem still remains.

Little Valley Elementary has been a wonderful school for my family. The teachers are very personable and professional. I live nearby and always see teacher's cars there at night and on weekends. I know they put in extra time to make it special for their students. Also, the PTA is very organized, and there are a lot of parent helpers, which is nice! I feel fortunate to live near this school. PS- have you seen their test scores? ....pretty good :-)
