Pleasant Valley Intrmd School

Great school - my children liked it here- great teachers and staff.

Very nice and friendly staff. Clean and safe neighborhood. Plenty of room on school grounds to play, Also many after school work shops and activity...

I am concerned with the lack of supervision with the misbehavior of the students bad language and with the sexual harassment that seem to be a daily occurance.

My child is an A student and has received Distinguished Honors from grades 1st - 6th. So upon moving here, I was very surprised and disappointed to learn that the curriculum at Pleasant Valley School District in general is not up to par. At the Elem. School Level, I was told that there is no Honor Roll bec. it makes the kids who aren't excelling academically feel bad. The HS Principal announced during a recent parent orientation for incoming students that they've come to the conclusion that students score higher on state exams if they take core subjects such as math the whole year as opposed to one quarter of the year (which is how they were doing it). Seriously?! At PVI, the teachers are unprofessional, lack sufficient training and experience, don't have a handle on their classrooms/students, and resort to handing out disciplinary referrals for the slightest thing, i.e. talking. The Principals are even less effective at doing their jobs. The school is more focused on sports rather than academics and this seems to be the case throughout the school district. A 5 & 6 rating for these schools are extremely generous. I have withdrawn my child and enrolled him into Agora Cyber School.
