I, overall, have had a very good experience at Pequea Valley. I think I am very privileged to be able to attend such a good and caring school but there are always things they could improve on. I think there needs to be more training for new teachers because I've had teachers that have never taught calculus for two years in a row and it makes the class quite difficult.

I would be lying if I said it was perfect. There is and always will be drama, but that's just how any school is. However, I can say that they saved my life. Growing up in an environment such as that one was life-changing and they help me to continually grow as a person.

PV school district is all talk and appearance and fails the students in the classroom. Teachers use purchased online curriculum and "packets" rather than teaching, the coursework is routine busywork and not engaging, and the students are not prepared when they enter college. The administration is mu...

Disgraceful at best, for parents and students who desire to learn and excel stay away. I’ve never seen such a lack of teachers who take their job seriously instead of just a paycheck.
