As a parent that has had 2 kids in public school before coming to BV, I can say it is such a…read moreblessing to have my child here. Many of the teachers and coaches are personally invested and involved in the development of their student's into young adults that will live their lives for Christ and be successful responsible citizens in the future. I do contend that there are still some class issues among the high school students. (However, not uncommon in any high school) I think the staff and the parent leaders need to focus on inclusion of all kids no matter the background and try hard to invite in new parents and children into their smaller circles. Staff planning should also consider that some families have both parents working in the home so including all kids and parents means considering working hours for special events or people will be left out.

I had attended big valley beginning in eighth grade. I am now a senior. Both me and my parents…read moredecided that big Valley was not the right fit for me and are pulling me out for my senior year. Let me explain : Continually throughout my experience in this school there have been issues with bullying. This is not something I only experienced, but also saw happening to other students. When brought the attention of admin, they would brush off or excuse these students behaviors discipline in this school is not properly formatted at all. Students will get Saturday schools for toilet papering someone's house on the weekend outside of school whereas a student who was sexually harassing multiple girls and sending nudes, got suspended for three days and was allowed to come back to the school. Discrimination in this school is a very real thing and is apparent. If you are from a wealthy family or you donate to the school or you have connections within the school, you will have a great time at the school. Your kids will get away with whatever they would like to do, regardless of who it harms. As someone who is not in that circle, my concerns were never properly addressed. I was brushed off. My little sister also attended this school since fifth grade. This last year she was a seventh grader so we were on the same campus. Every single week was a different fight with extreme bullying down to kids getting physical and there being no repercussions besides a slap on the wrist. I began to have to step in. When I would try to reach out to administration or Davenport they were just seem frustrated with me for even trying to help and stated "it's just standard junior high bullying." as if these things my sister was experiencing were acceptable. Besides the disciplinary and administration side of the school, the education as well as the teachers also fall short of expectations. This last year I struggled with extreme health issues that made miss over a third of the whole year. I had doctors notes I was in and out of the ER. The school had promised to be accommodating and said that they would help me out given the fact that I have doctors notes. This did not happen. Teachers at the school are rude. I specifically struggled with my Spanish teacher. Her grading was inconsistent and for the final we were not even given the rubric until she was grading the final. She had also changed up the scoring for the final the day we were all submitting it. I gave a teacher late work with the doctors note and emailed her away before grades were finalized. She failed to put them in four weeks and then I got a letter from administration saying the grades were finalized in the our needs to submit a formal complete in order to get my work graded. This email was not polite. This email was rude and the exact opposite of what administration had said they would do. Prior to this year of school I was an honorable student. And now I'm having to retake classes that I should've passed because of unfair grading and lazy teachers.

MoHi is a good school. A good school set in the wrong place. West side Modesto is basically ghetto,…read moretrash neighborhoods, and terrible people. The teachers there do their job, they care about students, and they teach a good curriculum. I was a student here for my four years, class of 21', and overall I enjoyed it. The police department was not too far considering this school is a couple of blocks away from downtown. However, there's a bunch of druggies around the school. Homeless people, gangbangers, weirdos, you name it made the environment less safe. TLDR: good school, terrible neighborhoods.

I cannot say how much I love this preschool. We had a wonderful experience, and all the teachers…read morewere fantastic. I felt that the teachers truly cared about my daughter and she absolutely thrived in their environment. One example- when my daughter was having a hard time with drop-off, Miss Becca developed a special drop-off routine just for her- and it worked! I felt so good about sending her to school--knowing that everyday, she would be reading, singing, playing outside, and doing art. I was sad to leave TC behind when we moved out of the area, and now that I am looking at new schools for my children, I appreciate even more what a great place TC is. WORTH EVERY PENNY! PS--summer program is really great too...so many cool activities!

Office staff not helpful. Joanne Valencia - is the first contact in the office. My son forgot his…read morejacket, first rainy day. He asked me to bring it to the office, but he doesn't have his phone so no way I could get ahold of him. I come in and she tells me to just put it on the table with his name. The sign above the table says 'staff is not responsible for the items- and they will not call the student to let them know it's there.' I ask her to call for him because he doesn't know I brought it- she tells me he won't hear it because he's in the cafeteria, but calls anyways. Another mom comes in with a laptop- she just tells her a name and asks to make sure she gets it. Joanne calls out for this student and immediately the student comes for the laptop. (Didn't tell the mom to place it on the table with a sticky note like she told me). I didn't leave because I wanted to make sure my son got his jacket. I waited 30 minutes. Finally she called a second time and he came up immediately to get it. Had I not sat and waited I don't believe she would have helped at all. He had to be at recess for a full 30 minutes without a jacket. - and as a mom I could never do that to another kid. I find her extremely rude and unhelpful and not a good fit for the very first person point of contact in the office at the school. Had I come in for a doc appt or something they would have had him come to the office immediately. I know there are systems in place to get ahold of the kids and she just chose not to help and wasted 30+ minutes of my day.
