East Valley High School

This school is just blooming into its great potential. It is has more and more activities and classes available each year. However, the best thing about East Valley HS is that it has wonderful unity and social opportunities. If a student and their parent's are willing to work hard academically, this school will be the perfect match!

New principal so the school has a new look and feel, and I am curious as to how it will all blend together. Having children who attended and attend EVHS, there are some points that still need to be addressed. Grading--getting a 0 on an assignment when there is an excused absence, handing out a final test with 2 questions worded incorrectly and then deducting the points from the students test as a final score. Acadmics: Honors classes that assign more reading or homework versus digging deeper into the curriculum, teachers not wanting to write lesson plans so there is a purpose to their teaching. Commnication: with teachers, done either be email or voice mail, and with old principal no follow up when a teacher does not respond to homework requests, setting up meetings. While my children have enjoyed EVHS, the bumps in the road do seem distracting.

Review about schools is a tricky subject to work through. The reason I say this is because it is so difficult to get a big picture by reading just a few reviews. While I understand that reality isn't the same as perception, it is true that perceived reality can be both flattering and damaging. A good rating can be the result of a great experience with one person inside the building, and a negative review can be caused by a negative experience with one teacher. It is important to distinguish between judging a whole school, or all the faculty based on one or two experiences. Just because one teacher doesn't 'teach or think outside the box,' doesn't mean that all teacher are the same. Please remember that the majority of the staff here focused on the kids and providing them the best education. Many are dedicated to professional growth. Thanks!

I love this school, and i wish i didnt have to go to college, the teachers are great, the classes are even better, learning expiriences are excellent and if i could describe the school in only a few words i would have to say, excellence can be acheived by hard working students and teachers working, not for the paycheck.
