This school is amazing! If I didn’t have to move next year I wouldn’t. This school as helped me through so much and all the teachers are AMAZING and wonderful and so very kind. I have been at this school for six years and the students are very kind. Yes some students my have their ups and downs but not everybody can be besties.Some things some parents should consider is that you can’t take your child’s word for granted, I believe most of the time you should, but not everything is as bad as your kids tell you. Have they told you all the good things that happened? Or are they just saying the bad things.When I first came to this school in second grade I couldn’t even spell cat but thanks to my wonderful second grade teacher Mrs.Weil I have now successfully loved reading and writing since then. I didn’t know basic math such as addition and subtract till 3rd and 4th grade with Ms.Gomez I am still in touch with these amazing teachers and they have help many other students.Things parents should take into consideration, TRICIA MCLINDEN who rudely called out a STUDENT (a 13 year old to be exact) is that not everyone is a bad person at this school LYLAH SANCHEZ is probably one of the nicest students I have met at this school along with MANY others. These students are kind and light hearted, they are never rude and always get their work done. I’m not sure what Tricia Mclinden‘s child has said about these students but I know that it is not Tricia’s concern anymore since she openly pulled her student out of North Valley Academy.Have and amazing day/night! I highly recommend this school for elementary students who are struggling.-Lorelei Rodarte

I think this school is pretty cool. But If you want your child/children to go, then I suggest elementary than Middle school. The teachers for middle school are nice but I don't think its the best place to have your middle school child/children in. And from being at NVA for 8 years, I know. So please think about this when you try this school. Have a great day.Ok everyone. I saw the remake Tricia Mclinden made 8 hours ago and of what I see of her statement is wrong. I do know her child from school. But have NEVER been mean to him. But after this woman took her child out of this school,we found her out side the parking lot of NVA school and threatened my friend and his mother for not sticking of for her child. My friend the next day and to be picked up from the office after school to make sure this psycho didnt hurt him. This women's child had friends. I saw him. But he wanted more. He would always follow me around. And i would ask him why, and he would run away for some reason. I am in the 7th grade and from a woman who clearly didn't heard what I said (about only for elementary is good). If you ask anyone from that school, I'm a special needs student at NVA because of my dyslexia. They have helped over that past 8 years of being there. And I have over accomplished my goals of fluency and speed in my reading. The only down side of this school is the new principle, Mrs. G (my 2th grade teacher)I hope you have a FUN DAY!!-Lylah Sanchez

This School is the worst school I could have even considered for my son! He got bullied at recess, kid pushed him from behind hit his face on the ground! Teacher on duty did nothing about it! Never took him to office or not even a phone call made to his parents! My sons nose get broken! Third grade teacher was a JOKE!! Please reconsider before putting your kids here!!

Parents do not subject your children to the school, I've had 2 children that started from kindergarten to 8th grade, and the school did nothing for them. It did not prepare them for high school at all. Thank God they were able to adapt to high school and was able to succeed but no thanks to North Valley Academy. Do not subject your children to the school.

I have wen’t to this school for 7 years. I am now in 7th grade and I would NEVER bring your child here because when I was in 6th grade there was this one guy and he has wrote me and other girls Numerous times inappropriate stuff that should not be said or wrote in school and we would tell our principal That he is being very inappropriate to young girls and all she said was “ you guys must have done something for him to say that now go back to class” in a very aggressive voice and so then he got mad at me one day because I told him stop and he just started to punch me and it’s took 3 guys and 1 girl to get him to stop so I run away and call my mom and tell her to come and pick me up and she said I will be there in a minute so the people who helped me went to the office and the front miss Danny says “sweetie what happend “. I told her and she said ”do you feel like your in danger “. I told her I felt like I was and she said you can stay up her the rest of the time I said ok thank you and me and the people who helped me walked into our Principals office and we told her everything and she told me “Lily you’re over exaggerating and she said why would you call your mom “. I told her I was scared and she was so mad and she had a aggressive Voice tone then miss Danny said “Lily’s mom is on the other line “. she told my mom that “ the boy is a very handsome boy she probably just likes him and she is over exaggerating and all we can do for your daughter is move her classes “. She did Absolutely nothing he did not get suspended or expelled but when other people fight they get suspended this is why you should not put any of your children into the school they say they have a zero bully tolerance it is not zero Bully tolerance

Horrible horrible school. I had to pull my kid out because of bullying and found out she was behind after moving her to Dennis Chavez. The principle here is incompetent and only cares about the paycheck. If you care about your child’s education do not send them here.

This school and its leadership have problems. From teachers having emotional breaks in the class room to staff bringing drugs into the school. Once I told the principal that "I take my daughters education seriously." Her response was I shouldn't because she is 9. This is the kind of mindset of the administration. I could write more problems, but this kind of sums the school up in a nutshell. They do have some good teachers who really care about the students, but it isn't enough to overcome the negative aspects of this school. I would take my student elsewhere.

I love NVA! It is the best school ever! The teachers are kind, and the students too! It's very intelligent! I suggest that your kids, or child, go to this school! It is kindergarten to 8th grade! It starts at 8:00 to 3:00. The teachers handle bullying very well! #BEST SCHOOL EVER!

School is school no doubt in that truth. What I cannot understand is why teachers punish students who ask to go to the bathroom by shaming them with a clip up or down system???

My child has been at North Valley Academy for 3 years. I absolutely love it. Having two other children in APS schools, I would definitely recommend a charter school instead.

The teachers seem to be very helpful and cooperative. My sons teacher this year was outstanding. She seemed to love teaching and wanted the best for her students.Now the other side....My son was injured very badly by a student from the school. It was found that the other student had been pushing many students as they tried to get on a slide. He injured my son so bad that two months later we are still going to doctors appointment for the injury.As this was a physical attack it would seem that there would have been some type of discipline but the only discipline was that the student sat in the principles office for one day. As this wasn't any form of discipline I'm sure this type of behavior from this student will continue. The principal seemed very unconcerned that this was a physical attack and pretty much brushed it aside as not very important. I find this attitude from the Head in this school, beyond incomprehensible.I have since removed my son from the school. I have no intention of allowing him to get physically injured again since I can see that the administration has no problem with physical abuse and bad behavior from students.--March 2, 2015
