The special education program is excellent. My son has been in the program for 2 years, now. They have 2 qualified teachers plus extra assistants, along with trained speech and occupational therapists. I have another child in the 'regular' school program. The teachers are superb and he loves going to school. Outstanding school!
I will agree with other parents on here about the level of education. My daughter is not in a combination class, but just the same, the focus is totally on reading and math scores. I don't agree with emphasis being taken off of the science and arts and with the direction this school is taking. I also have a HUGE concern with the safety of my child in this school. I know this is a small town, but there is no excuse for not monitoring who is coming and going in the school. I guess it will take something to happen to wake these people up.
I used to really love this school but now am very worried about the level of education my son is receiving. He is in a combination class (two grades being taught by the same teacher in the same room) something that is becoming more common at Village. While the teacher is doing the best she can, it is readily apparent that the students are not receiving the level and amount of instruction as they would in a single grade classroom. The students, who were picked because they excelled in their previous grade, are now barely meeting grade level standards!
The school is taking a new direction under new leadership through the principal. Unfortunately extreme emphasis is being put on reading compreshension while science and the arts are being severely neglected. It is a shame because the parents in the community work very hard to raise money to give the kids the 'extras' like science and the arts and they are being sidelined in favor of collaborative time for teachers and full focus on reading.
