I go to Vale Middle School it's a good school,but the new hallway rules are really dumb the whole thing is quote on quote post to stop fight and like taking laps around the hallway. It's not gonna stop people from doing what they wanna do, anyway sum of the teacher cuss out students FOR NO REASON stoping mid lesson to yell at the class. Admin cares more about dress code, and talking back/cussing out teachers than fights that happened. over all the school is good in my opinion I have good hg and hb over there sum of the teacher are really chill and the iss teacher is so nice he's chill and gives really good advice on staying focus on school and other stuff.
