Sports availability very good. Parents were involved, most kids had good grades. Quality could be better, courses seem to be too laid back, but good nevertheless.

I'm not impressed with the way mentally ill and handicap children are treated at this school. Even with counselors and Psychiatrist on my son s side they would rather ignore his problem and label him a drop out. As for the director of special education for west valley I see him useless.

So far I've been happy. I mostly appreciate the updates on grades I receive through email and the homework hotline is wonderful. I do think that although the students are told to respect others and no bullying, it isn't necessarily enforced which in my view should be worked on. When I emailed the superintendent of the district to question the bullying policy, I did not get a response which didn't impress me. The teachers that we have dealt with, however, seem like wonderful caring role models and the school expects the students to work hard and turn in homework, and I like that they are on top of that with parental communication - it really helps parents assist their children with healthy study habits and higher grades. Much better than I've seen in other middle schools in the area.

i think that there is a severe lack of cooperation, understanding, and willingness to work with children with special needs, which is detrimental to the learning process.
