The Valley School has been the MOST warm, loving and supportive environment for our whole family. Our kids both love school, absolutely adore their teachers and have made fabulous friends. They say every weekend, "I wish we had school today". Both of my kids are truly jazzed about learning and I love that they get deep into their work, especially when it means that they come home covered head to toe in dirt! I can't recommend Valley highly enough.

I went to the bush school for 7 years, and had to leave after my sixth grade year. The lower…read moreschool had it's problems, but it was mostly the middle school that was the reason for me leaving. The staff and teachers do not intervine bullying or physical fights. And I had a teacher that would bully me for the amusement of my classmate, and nothing was done about it in the end. My parents respectfully told the head of the middle school the problems, and he did absolutely nothing, and started trying to gaslight my family into thinking it was somehow fixed. The middle school counsellor was absolute garbage, she threatened to call the police on me when I stood I to leave her office to go to the bathroom after I got falsely accused of self harming in my science class. They were not flexible about teaching kids the way they need to be taught in order to learn. While I hadn't yet been diagnosed with autism I think that they still should have been more patient with me because it was obvious the way that they were teaching me, as well as a few other kids, in a way that worked for us. They also fired a bunch of beloved teachers for no good reason, and promoted a bunch of terrible teachers including one that was kind of racist. They have prided themselves about being inclusive to everyone, yet would not let me use the bathroom correlated with my gender identity because I'm trans. And they treated popular kids way bette. There's a TON of other problems with the bush school that I just don't want to get into right now, but I hope you get the point. I would put 0/5 stars if I could, I do not recommend this school at all.

MPCP is great for kids socializing but also helped me meet other young families in the area. The preschool makes you feel really connected with the other families and with the larger community. The families run the school (the coop model) and this creates opportunity to truly shape your child's education. Teacher Shannon is amazing! Kids really connect with her. My oldest just finished the 3/4s class and I know he will miss Shannon so much when fall comes around and he is not in Coop(luckily I have two more kiddos to send through)!

My little guy (9yo) has dyslexia, dysgraphia, and ADHD. He is also perhaps the most stubborn human…read moreI've ever met. Traditional school + tutoring was unable to teach him to read, especially because he was stubbornly against learning to read. Homeschooling with him was frankly a disaster. I'm very tenacious and resilient normally, but his stubbornness just kept defeating my efforts. Morningside is pricy, but in our extreme case we needed real help. My son is now reading and the relief is hard to convey. He's still behind his grade level, but showing truly amazing progress. Thank you Morningside!

It was good the first year my 14 year old daughter went here. However her second year here we had…read moresome problems. A teacher named Brien would get upset at her, even slamming the clip boards right near her on the table. She has PTSD so it really upset her when he did that. Also let's talk about Shiloh. They are pure evil, having a coffee mug that says "tears of my students." Aren't teachers supposed to be helpful to the new generations? They yelled at my daughter for apparently laughing during class when she didn't even do such thing. After school one day my child was in tears saying how Shiloh made them have an anxiety attack. And apparently I wasn't the only parent who complained/reported them. Another thing, they said they don't accept students with behavioral issues yet it seems quite the opposite. Another girl hit my child on the back really hard and hurt her. She told me that one did anything. The teachers here love to make children cry. Also forcing their political beliefs on minors who can't even drive yet! That's up to the parents to decide they should talk to their kids about political stuff, not the teachers. And no before any of you come at me it wasn't part of a lesson. The teachers just liked to have an audience to vent about controversial crap. They put the students in somewhat dangerous situations by exposing them to homeless people in the area and other strange things. One teacher got mad at some students who didn't want to participate in a protest. Are you serious?? That's not their decision to make. They can make their own choices. You don't know why they don't want to participate. Could be personal reasons right? For math and the speedy math problem worksheets like cum 34. Are you serious?? That just sounds very inappropriate. They wouldn't let anyone count on their fingers. Um... doesn't Howard Stern count on his? If it's not hurting anyone let them do it. It's fine. The timers were terrible. Brien blamed my daughter's entire class for supposedly hiding a timer and making it go off to be funny. Not only was that mean but it was a very bad assumption. My daughter said none of them did it. This is the most woke school I've encountered and that's coming from a Democrat. Don't take your child here, you'll regret it. However, I'm most angry with Shiloh. My daughter's friend said how they were talking to them about demonic crap and ghosts. Why?? Why are you talking to students about these kinds of things in a school setting? I tried to tell the principal this but she didn't seem to care about my concerns. The teachers act like immature students rather than the actual students themselves! One refused to let another student go to the restroom when she was menstruating. She ended up going home early due to embarrassment. I'm glad I took my daughter out of here before it got any worse.
