Vale middle school was an okay school but there was too much negligence from the administration. Me and everybody I knew kept getting bullied or threatened. I've seen more threats at that school then anywhere else. Kids have committed suicide because of the bullying at that school. Other then the social aspect of the school I think the academics is okay for a middle school. I think the music and art education is the best part of the school but some of those teachers should really stop screaming at children. I haven't had too much a bad experience with a teacher they are all really nice and did the best at this school. Overall the school just needs to pay attention to the kids more and make it more safe

My student has to deal with racial bullying EVERY DAY at this school. The teachers are overwhelmed. I've heard so many negative things about this school from my neighbors. We decided to give it a try to see maybe it was just them, but now I regret it.
