We went left and saw the drop off area and drove around the football field. We retraced our steps and drove farther straight and found the gym. There was plenty of parking and even some parking in the shade. The parking lot needs a little of grooming. We parked next to an island and it was filled with branches and weeds. The gym was nice. It was a little stuffy, even with all the doors open. The seating was plentiful. The bathroom was in the lobby, it was clean and easy to find. I'd come back and watch another game in their gym.

* NEGATIVE REVIEW ALERT!!…read more This review is not about the school's academic quality nor the performance. This is about the organizers for tonight's Dance event (01/13/24). I gave this school 5-star because my kids go here and it's a good school overall Dear the Dance Organizers for tonight event (01/13/24) To kindly and professionally put: YOU SUCK! We bought tickets (4) and came at 5:45pm, only to see the gates were locked with no signs. There were a lot of other kids standing outside with tickets like us and we were all confused as how to get it. 1. If you decided NOT to let people in for whatever reason ... basic common sense: PUT UP A NOTICE TO ADVISE THE SITUATION! Seeing a lady busy counting ticket money behind locked doors and ignoring us standing on the other side of the glasses are classless and rude. 2. If you sell X amount of tickets, you should have X amount of seats to accommodate the buyers. We knocked on the door and finally a lady came out telling us there is no more seats/spaces. I asked "Why?" and the answer was "Well, blame it to the kids who do not have tickets and came in with their friends" Well, I do not blame them. I blame YOU: the adults who do not know the basic rule of ticketing at gate and allowed this situation happened. Not accepting accountability and blamed it on the kids are not good image. Do not expect my empathy with this answer! 3. "Don't worry! You will be refunded for the tickets you bought"...How little did you know this is not about the $ or tickets. It's about missing the opportunity to see and support my kids' performance, which happened once in a lifetime. It was ruined and taken away by your poor organizing skills and lack of transparency/honesty and communication. 4. "We didn't expect it to be crowded this year. Last year only 70 showed up"... How in the world you can organize a big event with this mentality? In the end, you still messed up by not doing crowd control and ticketing correctly. We drove 45 mins to come and support my kids' dance and were sent away because of this BS. "Disappointed" is an understatement. Don't expect this to get to the school's office but if it does, I sincerely ask you to review this event so future event(s) won't suffer the same horrible result. (Heading to find something to eat to ease the frustration)

He came up to me and asked the same question to me, when I asked isn't that a sign saying this is a loading zone he got an attitude with me and asked me to move. I had already said I wouldn't park there tomorrow, so I asked why do they get to stay and I have to move. He told me I had an attitude, and I said all I did was ask a question and told him questioning things is a good thing. Then he was trying to get the name of the student I was picking up like he was going to have it out for them for me asking a question. To top it off he referred to me as you people.

There is way many wanna be gangsters. there are bugs, ants, and spiders everywhere, in every class…read moreand I have made it very clear to staff and teachers that it's disgusting.... spiders on my backpack.... ants crawling on me, ants on the desks it's endless. They don't do pest control at all and they allow kids to eat in classrooms which contributes more to the ant and bug problem. Staff is extremely unprofessional and if you anger them they will harass you personally. A few months into the school year this one guy got really pressed because I was riding my scooter to the bike racks (everyone else was riding it on campus IN FRONT OF HIM but when I did it he targeted me) when he saw me riding it to the bike racks He came up to me. I finished locking my scooter up and when I looked up he was in my face and was being condescending and rude, I decided to not engage and not give him attention because I did not want to create a scene. He tried to follow me and take me to the office because I was not giving him any attention, I ended up running away when he tried to take me to the office. After that I didn't see him the rest of the day. the next day in the morning I was late to class, there was nobody at the entrance except for that guy. I was riding my scooter going into school going 4 MPH and there was no one around. I rode it to the bike racks and locked it up. When I turned around I saw him (he scared the f outta me) he then said and I quote "hey buddy remember me from yesterday" and he said it like as if he caught me or something. this guy really wanted to make it his personal goal to get attention from me and harass me. When he tried to take me to the office again I ran away. Later in the day at lunch I saw him near the bike racks so I walked towards the bike racks acting like I was gonna get on my scooter and ride around campus. I then started recording the corner that lead to the bike racks because I knew he would come and harass me again, lo and behold he showed up to harass me again. I got it on video and linked it if you wanna see. Once I got him on video I left for a few minutes and then went back to my scooter to scrape the dirt off it and that guy saw me again and he was hanging out with 2 other lunch monitor guys, long story short he came up to me again while I was standing by my scooter scraping off dirt and said "let's not do that" and other stuff basically saying I wasn't allowed to touch my scooter Because I rage baited him by recording him harassing me he went and made it his personal goal to get revenge on me. He went and harassed me the whole day and harassed me a total of 5 times that day (I'm not gonna go in depth to each one because then the review would be way longer) anyways at the end of that day he finally found where my 5th period was, my name and who I was (somehow) and he went to my 5th period to harass me personally, he did this because he knew I couldn't run away if he harassed me at my class so I had to come to the office with him, he brought me to Georgie (Georgie handles conflict on campus) and georgie told that guy to leave me alone. This guy was so angry that he made it his personal goal to find out who I was and my classes just to go harass me there so I couldn't ignore him anymore. Everyone ended mostly siding with me in the end but the fact this guy is employed here is comical they should fire his a*s for sure.

No wonder most kids behave well, too. Compared to teachers at Stanford, Harker, Challenger; yes.. VCS staff might get lower salaries, but their dedication to teaching and loving the students - distinguish them from the rest. The tuition is way cheaper than other private schools, but you can tell VCS uses the money the right way - sports facilities, music hall (the Conservatory), computers. The only two things that I wish VCS will improve are: 1. to depend less on iPADs (trust me, years from now kids will grow up with shorter neck when they're on iPADs hours a day everyday) 2. better quality lunches please Other than that, we've been blessed with the quality of education, life learning, after-school programs, supportive, secure and loving environment from the staff.

In today's world, with so much hate, the last thing we need is actively teaching hate at school!…read moreValley Christian Junior High School is one of the only religious schools that is not open to the LGBTQ+ community. Parents have been reminding them that Jesus loves EVERYONE for several years, but the administrators will not listen. They actively teach that being gay or trans is wrong, making some students feel that their very existence is wrong. How can kids learn, when they are made to feel that way? You might think, "well, I can just teach my children that that being gay is OK. That's what our family believes." Well, it is not that easy. Kids walk away with a bias against LGBTQ+ people. Some boys there call some kids "tranny" and "gay" as an insult, followed by "I'm going to kick your ass after school." Sadly, the high school principal says that his school takes the same stance as the middle school. I have been thinking about how to phrase this post for a long time, because the school's stance hurts us deeply, as people who believe in God. If you switch to a public school, you will likely be behind in math and have to play catch up. So, you can get excellent grades and meet some good friends, but you will likely fall behind in math, and feel miserable about school. You have to be a very specific type of person with a narrow view to feel accepted and happy at Valley. During these very formative middle school years, is this what you want your child to walk away with?
