My experience started off very well at this school. My son first attended during the 2013-2014 school year in 2nd grade. I was very impressed. The mission, his teachers, the attention my son received; I was very satisfied. In my opinion, all of that drastically fell off as they moved into a new building and grew larger. As the staff multiplied the quality divided. Unfortunately none of those dividends worked in favor of my son. The teaching staff became too over worked and was unable to attend to my son's relatively simple academic needs (the school is equipped with an inclusion team but I guess since my son isn't a "special needs" case, his support wasn't that urgent to ANYONE). It's clear that though they emphasize bilingual education there is very little cultural competency among the staff (a teacher made some culturally insensitive remarks to me, I sent a simple email to leadership suggesting some training for the staff, not an apology, that was met with an apology from said teacher.....the training never happened and coincidentally the same teacher later made another culturally insensitive remark to me). To go along with that, very few people that work at the school even speak to me as I walk through the halls. I guess that's fine if that's the culture they strive for but the people at the front desk barely say anything to me when I walk in...and that's their job. I have some suspicions as to why that is but I'll keep that to myself. Based on my experience it seems that there is a lack of behavioral structure in place which breeds many avoidable behavioral incidents (many of which go unreported for some strange reason). My son doesn't cause any problems but is often victim to the consequences what seems to be lack of classroom management skills in many of his classes. I've concluded that the leadership of the school is piss poor. I have never encountered a "leader" of any organization that avoids leading their staff when necessary. It's hard to blame the staff for anything knowing that they don't have any leadership that takes charge. This isn't to knock the whole school and this is just my own experience. I'm sure there are many families at the school that are receiving great customer service and attention. I just wish that after attending for almost 3 years, I had that privilege.

My son is a pre k4 student and I love this school. Such a great place for him to learn about the world around him in a diverse environment where he is learning another language!!

Me gusta MVPCS. Sinceramente es un mundo maravilloso donde se construye educación y cultura en Ingles y Español. Los estudiantes y Maestros mantienen un agradable ambiente educativo con una política del cuidado y preservación de la Naturaleza.
