I had a wonderful experience my four years in high school. Being involved in student government and theater and athletics made for a very enjoyable time. The support from peers and faculty is strong at this school.

An excellent, solid school. Administration was very welcoming and happy to help. Teachers are great as well, along with the curriculum. They were willing to accommodate the learning track I was on. However, one of my friends got bullied and when we brought it to administration, nothing seemed to happen to the perpetrator.

Valley Academy of Arts and Sciences is a very good school. I would argue that no school is able to truly say they're a 5/5 star institution... so VAAS is just very close behind that.

Love this school. It's clean small and was a great fit for our child. They offer great classes in Dance and teachers are understanding with homework if it needs to be made up. They are all very caring and supportive of the children. I highly recommend!
