Apple Valley Elementary School

I loved Apple Valley! I went there from kindergarten to fourth grade, when i had to move up to the middle school, and the staff and teachers are so supportive and helpful and i was so lucky to have gone to such an amazing school.

We choose to enroll our daughter in the all day kindergarten program and we could not be happier. The academic growth my daughter has shown is tremendous, but it is the environment created by her teacher that has impressed us the most. Our daughter comes home from school brimming with excitement about what has happened that day. Not only has the academic side been excellent, but we have enjoyed the activities put on by the PTA. The experience at Apple Vally has put my daughter on the correct path to academic success.

In a day and age where children could use some creative teaching we have cookie cutter education. When asked for out of the box kind of learning and working with our family we were told that the curriculum is what it is. Children are individuals and should be taught as such. I feel as though my child in 1st grade is just a number. I also have not been allowed to volunteer in the classroom. Something I did a great deal of in our last school. I visit in lunch hour to see my son but I am obviously not welcome.

This school does have excellent teachers who care about their students. However, if you are looking for a school where you are welcomed to be a part of your child's education in the classroom, this is not the school for you. I, and many other parents, have felt very unwelcome to visit the classroom, and no volunteers are wanted, which makes me wonder who is doing all of the things for them that I did for the teachers at my daughter's previous school. And what is going on that we can't be a part of. On the other hand, the after school daycare is great, and I believe the education is sound. I just enjoy a school that allows me to meet my daughter's friends and spend time with the children and adults that shape her day. This school just doesn't allow that type of involvement.

My husband & I had our home build in the Apple Valley district so our son could start Kindergarten at Apple Valley. He's going into first grade now. We were very pleased with Apple Valley. The teachers are awesome and so is the principal! They all make learning fun and not like a chore!

I have had two children go through Apple Valley. I have been extremely pleased with the caring attitude of the teachers and staff, and for their commitment to teaching to the standards.
