The School was alright. A lot of things could have been better. Some teachers had favorite students so the people that have the potential to be in a advanced class didn't get the opportunity. One teacher was very unorganized. The food was good on a rare occasion.

I am currently a senior at VBDSS, and over all it is a great school. Class sizes are fairly small, my graduating class is 19 people. We are class D when it comes to sports. I really enjoyed going to this school.

Many different options are given to the students. If there was to be something a student would not like, there would always be an alternative to choose from.
