What do you say about a public school as old as Valley Middle School? Mind you, is 42 years old…read moreactually old in building age? Does a public middle school warrant a review? All I can say is that this school really appears to try. Yes, I would conjecture it's all about the money (conjecture being the $10.00 word of the day). However, the STEM (Science Technology Engineering Mathematics) program that is hot in education news does appear to be in full throttle. I do think the school is a bit behind in the STEM program, but that is mere speculation (yesterday's word of the day). The 3:AM summary? If someone with children thinking about moving into the area happens to read this, know that Valley Middle School is pretty good.

My son recently attended MPA for a week long summer camp program called Camp Invention. The campus…read moreis very easy to get around, grounds are well kept, and there's plenty of parking. I recently found out this is the old Hill High school grounds but the buildings have definitely been modernized. The camp was awesome with the exception that there was a water leak on campus and camp closed early on one of the days (at 11am). Otherwise the camp counselors were all very engaging, and friendly including Rudy Ford who heads up the entire program. My kiddo absolutely adored the curriculum and projects they were worked on. He was so sad when camp was over on Friday afternoon so we'll definitely look into it again next year.

Swim Meet Review!!…read more Edina Gators and Southview Middle School = GOOD JOB. Are you coming here for a swim meet? Things to know = the parking lot is small. There's a second lot on the east side of the school, and you can follow a path alongside the south side of the school to get back to the pool entrance. You can also park in the neighborhood. I've been to all sorts of meets here, smaller one session novice style, four session two day invitationals, and post season meets. They always seem to have a solid snack bar going, with real meal options like walking tacos and fresh fruit and baked goods and coffee, not jsut candy and gatorade. There are tables for people to sit at when your kid isnt swimming. (A gym too, but that's pretty typical) The building has a few nooks that you can walk to if you want to get away from all noise. There is a decent amount of seating. They sell programs, if youre into that. (Sometimes this means the program is not available online. Meh. I can work with that)

I am a bit biased since I went to Benilde but I have to say SLP does a good job…read more The teachers are really good and do all they can to help you. They work with what they have. Don't sent your kids here with a private school expectation. Sent them here with a diverse world learning expectation. They have a minority majority as the world does. That being said you will not find a singular group of kids from any one race or belief system. They all work and learn together as we do in the ever connected global world. They have a nice facility with big upgrades coming soon. Nice fields , gyms, common areas. The sports have good coaching staff. The leadership is good and willing to talk. The food is about what you would expect. They have a great music department and very nice theater. I am happy with my experience as a parent and suggest you give them a try.

I'm giving five starts to SLP HS for many things, like the great reputation it has for academics…read moreand diversity, but mostly bc the DFL used this building for caucusing and it was the easiest thing I've ever done. With friends complaining about traffic, parking, lines, signage, and every possible issue all over the metro area, I feel a little smug that I showed up (via car) in the middle of caucusing and without knowing my precinct number and was able to walk right through the building with lots of volunteers and find my room and cast my vote. I still think caucusing is not the best way to vote in 2016, but oh well.

Nice teachers, nice kids, nice principal. Besides the school goop they call "lunch" (aka why I…read morebring my own) this school has made an excellent comeback! I hope it doesn't change when the entire green central kids move over here.
