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!
The school of East Valley is an okay school only it is old and only some of the teachers are good at teaching like Mr.Hummel .
The school seems to have good programs and good teachers. Mr. Hummel (princ.) was very nice and helpful when enrolling my daughter.
