My son has attended Palm Valley School since 5th grade. He is now completing 9th grade and he is so…read morehappy with the school! He plays every sport because it is a small school and all the kids join in. Many of the teachers attend the sports events to show support for their students. It's is such a great feeling to know that your child feels totally supported by their school and their teachers. He has really grown and matured as a student in this remarkable environment and he adores the teaching staff. We could not be happier with our experience at Palm Valley School and we find it to be worth every penny. We have toured other schools in the area both for grammar school and high school and there is no other option in our opinion. Having relocated temporarily during the pandemic and we thought we might stay for one year but we decided to relocate our family from Marina del Rey solely because our son is so happy and thriving academically of Palm Valley School. Yes, we left the beach because nothing is better than a happy thriving kid!! This school would be 50k in the Los Angeles area and the class sizes would be far larger. Additionally, the families at PVS are down to earth and the PVS community in general is very warm and welcoming. We plan on staying until our son graduates. My only regret is that he did not start at Palm Valley School in kindergarten. PVS may be the best parenting decision we have made thus far.

I love that I have an opportunity to volunteer within the classroom, and that they have a very active community of parents. I served as a room parent this year, and was thrilled with just how involved the parents in our grade level have been!! It's been such a treat! We love Family Game Night. We love the Fall Festival. The Parent Association hosts several "Meet and Mingle" gatherings throughout the year. It is SO easy to get involved here. Overall, it's a very welcoming vibe! It really makes our school feel like a family.

I had to advocate for my son on multiple occasions, was never contacted about the outcome of the " investigation" And was told that they could do nothing since nobody heard it and they couldn't prove it on video. Absolutely unacceptable by a school district if you ask me. I was also told that it was not being looked into any further since this other student was no longer going to the same school as my son. I sure hope nobody else has to deal with this type of situation with the student since nobody in the school district seemed to care about avoiding the same situation in the future.

The amplified noise can be heard inside our homes, with doors and windows closed, and the bass is making things in my house vibrate. I know we live across the street from a school. I expect there to be a certain amount of noise. But being unable to enjoy some peace inside my house is ridiculous. I've tried calling and have left messages, but they haven't helped. Next step is the police. Edit: 11.5 hours. 8am to 7:30 pm of thump thump bass. I know for a fact the police were called multiple times. Everytime they came out the music would go down for a little while...and then they cranked it right back up again. I wish Yelp would allow a zero or even a negative star rating.

She used to be the computer lab teacher, but then, she left when I was in fourth grade. The problem is the parking, but I know someday, this would be taken care of.

My daughter told me she was routinely told to 'just hold it' when she asked to go to the bathroom. I spoke with them about this and they said they gave her time to go, yet she still developed another bladder infection. She told me the second time that she *was* asking her teachers to go and they were still telling her to hold it. My older daughter confirmed this was happening. This was really upsetting and we left shortly after this point. Another incident that happened was bullying by one of the teachers Ms. Shama. She was very hard on my daughter who was struggling to learn her numbers in Kindergarten. It got so bad that my daughter started having nightmares about learning numbers. I was concerned enough to write a note to the teacher asking kindly to please understand she was still learning. My daughter later reported to me Ms. Shama refused to let her participate in any numbers or reading activities after that because she said 'your mom said you can't do any activities', which was of course not what I said in my note or in the quick f2f chat we had. I was really disappointed that an adult would treat a 5 year old this way.
