My daughter is in her second year here. She is the youngest of four kids (we have 3 grown adult…read morechildren as well) and I have done any number of public school, homeschooling and privately schooling with all of them - depending on the individual needs and learning styles of each child. That being said, this school is exactly what we were hoping for with our youngest. It isn't snobby or snooty. Good, hard working, normal folks bring their kids here and it doesn't feel like a country club mom clique (IYKYK). The class sizes are very small. The teachers really know your kid and hold your kid accountable. We needed something in between homeschool and public school (we tried both), and this is it for us. I feel like everyone at this school loves her, but they also don't let her get away with any shenanigans either. It's stricter than public school and for that I am so grateful. I am able to be in as much contact as I want or need with the teachers and the administrators. They do fun things (they have a junior high dance, some sports like volleyball, basketball, football) and go to Hume Lake for example. They have chapel every Friday and parents are invited to come...it's lovely. I cannot say enough wonderful things about the teachers and the staff. On top of that I love that she studies the Bible and is growing spiritually here as well. I also was shocked at how reasonable the tuition is here compared to pretty much most of the other private schools in town. The academic level is pretty rigorous - definitely beyond private school level. But with smaller class sizes there is more attention given to each kid. It's small, cozy, welcoming and we are very happy with it.

A School I Would Not Recommend…read more In my experience, this was one of the worst school choices in the area. The experience with the assistant principal and office staff was extremely disappointing. I felt that communication was poor, my child went missing without their concern and the way my child's situation was handled was unacceptable. POC families, I strongly encourage you to ask questions and pay close attention to how concerns are handled before choosing this school. Based on my personal experience, I would not recommend this school to other families. Parents deserve to feel that their children are safe, respected, and properly supervised. Unfortunately, that was not my experience here.

They recently installed new solar panels and upgraded the classrooms. The staff in the office was always helpful and cheerful when I called in with any questions or to clear absences. The school participates in many voluntary extracurricular activities and competitions like History Day and Robotics; both of these programs have a possibility of moving on to statewide or nationwide competitions! The teachers involved in the extracurriculars are very encouraging and will go above and beyond to make sure the students have the tools they need to succeed in their chosen programs. The teachers at FJH made my daughters time here enjoyable. Special recognition to Norian, Kolb, Escobar, and Chafin for being especially helpful and encouraging. I think Fruitvale is a great school and really care about the kids! (I am knocking a star because we had a lot of issues with the bus driver giving our child problems - primarily because her morning and afternoon stops were different because of my work schedule and he didn't want her getting on and off at different places)

The principal is very kind and seems to know most of the kids by name! The school has had quite a few "recreational" fieldtrips (as opposed to educational ones), but the kids really have to earn them! This school is very family oriented and provides family game nights, performances, and family night fundraisers at other locations. Super great school

Overall great staff, only problem is the school secretary. I believe her name is Sheila. Not sure…read morewhat the lady's problem is but she needs to learn how to communicate with parents and people in a way that isn't sarcastic and belittling. It's a shame because she's essentially the face of the school but until she either fixes her attitude or they get someone with actual people skills in her place the image she gives the school won't be good. It also concerns me as a parent that if she talks like that to parents how does she treat or talk to the kids? Crazy that her attitude would be tolerated in an elementary setting.

My little girl chose culinary and gardening at Whitley Elementary. Yesterday was her first day, and there were staff at the front of the school with badges to assist kids and to answer parents' questions, which I appreciated. I am choosing to drop off my little girl every day, but they do have busses that will pick up the kids from their home school and take them to their designated schools, which again I appreciate. My little girl said her teachers were nice and the school served breakfast, lunch, and a snack. The summer camp program runs until July 26th, 8 am, till 5 pm, but kids are able to be picked up early, which I appreciate. I'm excited for her to have this experience, and I appreciate this school as all schools involved in these programs!
