We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

The teacher are amazing! This is a very small school where students get lots of attention and advice as well as assistance from their teachers.

Su-Valley is a close knit family type of school. There isn't many things that need to be changed but something that would add to it would be more extracurricular activities. Since it is so far from the city there aren't many opportunities for kids interested in unique things like cooking or dance or debate.
