However, your experience here is very dependent on your situation going into the school. There is a lot of affluence here as you can imagine, and you'll be exposed to that as parents, and your kid will as well. For most of the parents and kids at the school, its a world they are comfortable with. For those not in that circle, you will quickly realize that it's not your circle...and your kid will too. Towards the end of our time here, our daughter was old enough to understand these things, and that was very disappointing to us. It's a private school with all that it entails; that needs to be understood before deciding on sending your child here. While a good school, it's not for everyone.

Dear readers, as an individual who attended this school in the past, I must honestly express that I…read morefind it to be an unsatisfactory investment for your child's education. My time at SCM was quite extensive, but I eventually transferred to another institution due to the persistent issue of bullying, which remained prevalent from 1st to 6th grade without any effective intervention from the school administration. During my time in 6th grade, I endured both physical and mental bullying to such an extent that it necessitated my admission to a Mental Health Hospital for various reasons. Shockingly, the three girls responsible for this reprehensible behavior faced no consequences, resulting in me missing out on my graduation day and celebration due to their actions. This unfortunate reality extended to my friend as well, as he was also targeted and compelled to switch schools. Moreover, it is important to note that I am autistic and suffer from a chronic illness that causes severe pain when walking or running. Regrettably, the school disregarded my condition and failed to provide any support or accommodation during times of autistic meltdowns. I found their indifference towards my physical and emotional struggles disheartening and disconcerting. When I requested alternative activities during physical education classes to alleviate my chronic pain, the school administration threatened to involve my parents, rather than understanding and addressing my health concerns with compassion and empathy. In terms of education, I observed a significant emphasis on the subjects in which students demonstrated proficiency, while minimal effort was made to help students struggling in other areas. This unbalanced approach hindered overall academic growth and development. In conclusion, my personal experience at this school was largely negative, and I believe there are superior educational establishments available. However, it is essential to recognize that individual experiences may vary, and some individuals might find benefit in this environment. Regardless, I urge prospective parents and students to exercise caution and carefully consider their options before making a decision.

I personally witnessed staff threaten a student who was trying to leave campus. The threat was later denied and the school took no accountability, on-campus police got involved, and the student was given an expulsion. Seeing how the situation was handled and misrepresented, along with other issues, has left my friends and me feeling alienated and without trust in the system, afraid a mis-step could have us treated as horribly as they treated him. Not a safe environment overall.

I Attend SLV High School, and unfortunately, my experience was not what I had hoped for. The campus…read morewas a trashy and a filthy setting. all the teachers where very bad (More specifically Ms. Doty). Firstly, communication between the administration, students, and parents often felt disorganized. Announcements about events or schedule changes were frequently last-minute, causing unnecessary confusion. They used to let me rot in the office for no reason while I did't even do anything. Lastly, there seemed to be a lack of accountability regarding issues like bullying or student behavior. Concerns raised by students or parents often felt brushed aside or inadequately addressed. A stronger emphasis on creating an inclusive, supportive environment would go a long way. I believe SLV High has potential, but there are several areas where improvement is urgently needed to ensure all students feel supported and prepared for their future.

They will go to extreme lengths to avoid providing any specialized instruction or related services. Most people either move or find another school district in the area.
