Just another happy parent here! My kids love going to school. Read that back. They love going to…read moreschool and it's all because of the incredible staff and admin at CWC WV. Their rigorous academics, the focus on SEL, and project based learning have given my kids the opportunity to not only learn, but thrive. As a parent, I feel so grateful to have such a supportive community and ample opportunities to volunteer. I'm a full time working parent and the school has found ways for working families to be involved in the community as well. School leadership is accessible and works in partnership with caregivers to addresses concerns, ideas, and more. This community is truly magical. We couldn't be happier to be CWC West Valley Unicorns!

The last two years at this school have been a real disappointment. If you're able to break into the…read moreparent community, you'll probably enjoy it. It's nice becoming friends with the parents of your child's classmates, but unfortunately, that wasn't enough to make up for the issues we experienced. The teacher turnover has been hard to ignore. Several amazing teachers left, leaving those who stayed with even more responsibilities and less support. At times, it was obvious how overwhelmed some teachers were. As a parent, that's difficult to watch. One of our biggest concerns was technology and student safety online. Despite schools knowing what children can access on the internet, my child told me students were visiting sites like TikTok, YouTube, and Amazon during school. Even more concerning, my child was exposed to inappropriate images shown by another student. It left us wondering what safeguards were actually in place. Communication with administration was another frustration. Good luck reaching someone by phone without calling multiple times or leaving messages. When concerns were raised, we often felt gaslit rather than supported. What the school does seem to do well is fundraising. There is no shortage of requests for donations or encouragement to ask family and friends to contribute. At times, it felt like fundraising received more attention than addressing parent concerns. I've noticed more parents speaking up and sharing their experiences recently, and unfortunately our experience this year was no better than last year. We wish the school luck and hope for the best but they need to get their priorities straight. Do your research, ask current and former families questions, and look beyond the marketing before deciding if this school is right for your child.

About a year ago, my sister went to this school, and she was bullied and harassed the entire time…read moreshe was there. Kids would touch her without her consent and use her as a scapegoat for things she didn't even do. She was also hit in the head multiple times. When she tried to get help, the teachers and the principal didn't take it seriously and literally told her, "You're not being bullied, you just call it that." On top of all of this, her grandma had just died. Instead of being supportive, one of her teachers made sarcastic "apologies" about it, like it wasn't a big deal at all. There were also a lot of other really messed up things happening at that school that were completely ignored. My sister only had about two friends, but they were genuinely kind to her, and that's honestly what helped her get through it. Having a couple of good friends matters, but it doesn't excuse what happened. No one should be treated like this at school or made to feel unsafe, especially when the adults who are supposed to protect students are the ones failing them.

Today my daughter was in class where they made her play a game which involved running. she fell on her face/head, they called me 1 time told me she had a small scratch on her face. when i pick up my 6-year-old daughter she couldn't walk, very dizzy, her head was hurting, i went to the office to get answers, i was mad i cussed 1 time. they decided that me cussing was more than my daughter getting hurt, threatened me with calling police if i didn't leave. Came home just to call 911 because she felt a lot worse. Mr. Barbara was the only one who cared about the kids and helped everyone. Ms. Ratner or whatever her name is doesn't do anything. completely trash no wonder she looks like a dam mouse/rat. take your kids out of school for their safety. as mine don't feel safe in that school any more .

The school also does a great job providing emotional and academic support through counselors and staff, which creates a very positive environment for the kids. The Spanish immersion program has been amazing for our family. Spanish isn't the dominant language in our home, yet our son (currently in second grade) comes home speaking and reading Spanish with confidence. We've even had native Spanish speakers compliment how well he speaks. We're incredibly grateful for the education and encouragement he receives at MLC and highly recommend the school to other families.

It feels like no matter what you do, they're ready to snap at you or talk down to you for no reason. Even simple questions get met with attitude, eye rolls, or straight-up disrespect. The organization of school activities and academics can feel messy and inconsistent, which makes it harder for students to stay on track. It also feels like favoritism plays a role in how certain students are treated, which creates an unfair atmosphere. I've never been around a group of staff that seem so uninterested in being kind or understanding. I expected a more supportive and structured environment, but unfortunately, this school did not meet those expectations.

Where did this concept of "no homework" for students come from?? This school is for the slow and lazy. It make sense cause their teaching staff are likewise, the same.

Most of the staff are two faced and will tell you what you want to hear to pacify a concerned parent. They are mostly very unprofessional, tactless and really quite ignorant in comparison to the general public. DO NOT send your children to this school unless you just don't care about their future.
