Have been at Valley with two kids for 4 years now. Both kids love going to school and are well supported by great teachers, staff, and a close knit community of unpretentious parents. If you want a school that is small, unique, and engaged enough to welcome and encourage you to participate, and you believe elementary school is about instilling a love of learning and social development alongside academics, Valley is the place for you.

Both of my children are excited to go to school everyday. I often wonder if my son would be successful in a more "typical" classroom as he is energetic, sensory seeking and has neurodiversity, and he has thrived here. The parenting community is very engaged and we feel lucky to be a part of this special place. The teachers truly care and see my kids, helping guide them through their individual challenges.

PROS: beautiful campus, chickens, trees, teachers who pour their heart into teachingCONS: so much staff turnover, not so structured, declining enrollment, sense that there is a lack of vision for bringing up enrollment and keeping the fabulous teachers on board. Each year it's like we love so and so...
