This is a tough review to leave. My kids are in rotc and I have always always loved deer valley…read morehigh school from the moment they started there. But.... I have this problem, I let them go to a paint ball event that was with the school. My son came back covered in bloody bruised marks all over his body. Of course, I can't do anything because of the whole waiver thing but I can not believe that they would take them to an event that they know would cause these kind of injuries. I'm beyond livid. My son will have scars from this. Very very unhappy.

I guess that's safer and quicker to get to class then struggling up and downstairs and being so crowded. The staff are really nice. They added some new chairs in the office.

Great teachers, supportive administration staff. The school is clean and in a nice neighborhood.read more

We enrolled at North Valley Christian Academy expecting a Christ-centered environment built on…read moretrust, transparency, and partnership with parents. Our experience was the complete opposite. Our primary concern is student privacy and administrative overreach. During our time at NVCA, we witnessed: * Private student conversations being overheard and later referenced by administrators * A lack of respect for parent involvement when our child was emotionally distressed * A troubling culture of surveillance and control rather than trust and care In addition to these issues, we raised multiple safeguarding and conduct concerns to administration that were never meaningfully addressed, including: * Coaches speaking to teenage girls in demeaning and derogatory ways * Inappropriate one-on-one conversations during athletic evaluations unrelated to performance * A coach refused to let our daugher leave a room for 10 minutes against her will and pleas for her parents * Requests for written policies governing athletics, discipline, and parental communication that were never provided The most alarming incident occurred after our daughter resigned from cheer due to how she was being treated. Principal Jason Mitchell hired someone to locate and secretly video record our minor child at a weekend club volleyball tournament -- off campus, outside of school hours, without our knowledge or consent. (Chris Schoenleb, Head of School denies this despite the email from Jason Mitchell being attached to this review and he was cc'd on the original email). This had nothing to do with safety, academics, or behavior. It was clearly used to justify a decision that had already been made. Our daughter had no disciplinary record, no probation, and was never warned her enrollment was at risk. Despite this, the school later discussed our family via email to all 800+ NVCA Families while refusing to identify any written policy we allegedly violated or responding to us. Since then, NVCA has implemented policies locking students' phones in Yondr bags throughout the school day, preventing private parent-child communication. Given our experience, this raises serious concerns about control versus care. Also, random drug testing is common and done without parental notification and consent by Jason Mitchell. We are sharing this so other parents -- especially those expecting integrity from a Christian school -- will ask questions, request written policies, and fully understand the culture they are placing their children into. Our family did not leave quietly because what happened should never happen to another child.

We unfortunately have to move our kids closer to home which is such a difficult decision I had to make and wish I didn't have to. Wanted to shout out to Ms. Angie, Kaylee, Ms. Carmen and Ms. Mari. These people are amazing and so supportive. Ms. Carmen is such a kind and caring teacher to my 4 year old. I'm seriously bawling my eyes out having to take my kids to a different school due to commute.
