So I heard North Valleys High School has a bad rap for a speech and some snacks. Let me give some…read moretrue insight as a member of the class of 2015. As a school that allows every student to have that true stereotypical High School experience you walk through the doors to see it just as such. You have a full school full of individuals of every background, every clique, fully staffed with some of the dedicated teachers, counselors and disciplinarians I've ever met. Every year I had a teacher who stood out to me more than others, some for good reasons and others not. My freshman year took the cake for me. I had some amazing teachers. had a very sweet biology teacher her who took more time than I have ever seen get to know students and still to this day, I don't know a single person who has something bad to say. My algebra teacher was just the same and is the reason I don't entirely hate math. Both teachers throughly took the time to teach each student what they were suppose to learn in ways each person could understand. Each year I had a couple teachers who will forever have a special place on my heart and owe so many thanks to for being a part in helping me achieve my success. It feels like a really long time ago that I went to north valleys but it would still be a place I consider for my children when thinking of what school to put them in, when they get older. As far as I've seen and heard, it's still the same high school I grew to know and love.

Our son has been going to TKA for a couple of years now and it was the right choice for us. We're…read moreso glad that there's a school close to us that not only teaches kids academics but also teaches them moral lessons which I think is the most important. The staff here are great too. They do care about the kids and are very attentive to their emotional and academic needs. One thing that is amazing as well is that it's a small school so the staff knows pretty much all of the children. Ms. Angie and Mrs. Baeckel greet each kid by name and their families during drop offs and pick ups every single day- rain or shine. We really appreciate the extra care and attention because you know they're safe having two pairs of watchful eyes to see who comes in and out of the property. My son also is learning so well. His reading I think is advanced and they teach them how to write in cursive at a young age too. He's made lots of friends and even the parents know each other and are connected as well. I don't think you will get that in a big/public school. We are happy that we enrolled our child here. We will stay for a while.

The King's Academy is an absolute treasure! We are so incredibly thankful to be sending our son…read more(and in a couple of years our daughter as well) to this school! We did a lot of research before deciding where to begin kindergarten, and toured several schools, hoping to find one that stood out above the rest. The King's Academy is it. I can't imagine a better place for an excellent Christian education in the Reno/Sparks area. The staff are wonderful. The teachers are so amazing, experienced, loving, compassionate, and we really can feel how much they truly care for our son. He is having the most wonderful experience. I can honestly say that since my son began attending The King's Academy, he has come into his own genuine, authentic faith. He loves God, he knows God better, he asks so many great questions. Best of all, he tells me all the time now "I love you so much Mom, but I love God more." It is such a comforting feeling to have the utmost confidence in both the quality of the academics, as well as the spiritual environment of the school. We love the smaller class sizes and greater level of attention that the teachers are able to pay to each student, and therefore their enhanced ability to tailor the education to each child's unique needs. I attend chapel every week (parents and families are always welcome to join the students there) and absolutely love it! I love seeing the children having a great time and also receiving such quality, Christ-centered Biblical teaching. It's wonderful. There have been so many times that, unprompted, my son will ask me "Mom, can I please keep going to King's Academy all the way to 8th grade? I love it there!" What more could you want to hear from your child? We cannot recommend The King's Academy enough, it is one of the best decisions we've ever made for our children.

My sons teachers mother passed away at the beginning of the year and he had a bunch of substitutes the rest of the year. Second grade we had a serious problem with bullying. Even came to the school go deal with it. Mrs Brandt basically called me a liar. My son had taken his robot for show and tell and it was destroyed by some of his classmates. The teacher never even told me about it. I think it was 2 days later when he snuck the toy out of the classroom and told me about it. Following that incident his teacher threw away all of his belongings and the actual principal Mrs van tress helped us with that. He ended up getting a new teacher for the last 7 weeks of school. Mrs galatti. She was an angel. Too bad it was only 7 weeks. Third grade was amazing. Absolutely amazing! We had Mrs. Sherbondy. She was just so amazing. She really helped him grow and blossom. She stayed on top of his education and we talked weekly. I wish they could clone her. And on to 4th grade... we were told that he was getting the best teacher in the school. That's a joke. And she's lucky I'm not filing a lawsuit. Mrs. Hensley. At first glance she seems wonderful. Really nice lady. Then there's the classroom. No desks. But there were bean bags, video game chairs and one flow height table. For 28 kids. No desks. So needless to say he was reallllly distracted. Also the same bully from 2nd grade sat directly next to him. So that was fun. So I went in weekly. Spent countless hours of tutoring outside of school not to mention money... and then we have our parent teacher conference. This woman literally asked me to put my son back in the 3rd grade. 3 months into the year she wants to move him. Then she tells me I need to look into getting him medicated. This woman is not a doctor. She's a teacher. He had been struggling and we were getting him help for that, but she literally suggested meds. Said he probably has add and that he should be on something. And that she has seen it enough to know. Cool. Leave that to a DOCTOR! Also, he had good grades on 3rd grade. So why would I need to put him back in 3rd grade? So I tell her I'm thinking of moving him to a charter school. And then she tells me he should go to her friend Primms school. I'm not really sure how I kept my cook through all of this. But I managed. My husband and I left and immediately enrolled him in Honors Academy of Literature. Which is in Reno. Clear across town. We moved to this neighborhood specifically for Van Gorder. I'm just so bummed. On a bright side we love his new school. He now has all A's and he's happy. They actually enforce their no bullying policy there. I wish i could have gone to his office about things going on, but after everything that has happened I just decided it wasn't worth it. Sorry for the long review. I'm just hoping this doesn't happen to anyone else. I'm giving 2 stars only because of his 3rd grade teacher.
