Excellent teachers. Honors classes too.
My teen has been in several schools in different cities & states due to my job changes. School is well run and teachers are top notch. School system uses Infinite Campus online and phone AP to ensure parents can track each assignment and each classes grades extremely easily.

I love this school!! I go here and it’s so much fun! All the great activities and amazing teachers. This is by far, the best school I’ve attended so far. The teachers are super confidential, they believe in you, they protect, and they have you do things you didn’t think you’d be able to do and I love it. Everyone is so nice and it’s amazing. I’m in the international baccalaureate/IB/MYP program and it’s great! Once I’m older, I’d absolutely have my child(s) come here.

I went to this school last year and yeah there are fights once in a while but its only if somebody makes it happen. The teachers are great, the pe coach he's really cool, the police officer is really cool, and just be positive about the friends you pick. The Principals dont just let anyone in because past year there was this one person with a white truck i think that was dangerouse for us teens and to be honest i was scared to go home but tyue good thing was that i had some friends with me.
Have fun at VVMS😁👌

Be careful , this school is pure evil , school principal gary Callaghan prevented me " a parent " from communicating with my son or walking to see my son . They act like Pure authoritarian dictators !!!!!

I went to register my son I've been in the office for well over an hour , the front office ask if my son would like to do a math placement test , my son kept insisting no , but with me being the parent I said yes .

after meeting with the counselor my son decided to take the math test , as my son was filling out the math placement test no more than one minute I asked the front desk if I can go to my car to retrieve my cell phone the front desk office people said yes .

I must have have walked out the door for no more than a minute as I walked inside the office I was greeted by Gary Callahan .
from there he was smiling at me holding a walkie talkie .he approached me and said are you so and so ? and I said yes because he had mention my name , and I said yes.
I asked Gary Callahan excuse me but he kept blocking my entrance left then right then left then right.

then he tried to direct me like a police officer. extending his far right hand for me to move to my left towards the front office desk so I started this immediately feel uncomfortable.

then I ask Mr Gary Callahan... is there an issue ?

Gary Callahan replied yes , GRay Callahan said I'm not going to just let any parent walk in here to grab their children . then I said I must speak with my child .

I told Gary Callahan my son sitting right there and he's filling out the placement test and that I had to go to the card retrieve my cell phone and I don't understand what the issue is. once again I told Gary Callaghan I must speak with my child.....

then Gary Callahan said what do you want to tell your son ? ( in a sinister voice )

I told Gary Callahan that I need to give them something instead.

Gerry Callahan said what do you want to give him .. ( once again in a sinister voice )

that's when I felt very uncomfortable

I would literally had to yell !!! three times over the front desk to retrieve my son !!!!! ........ I had to scream very very loud !!!!

I had no idea that Gary Callahan would act like if I were to be living in North Korea !!!!

please be very careful .

P.s. it's all about control and not EDUCATION !!!!
