We have been to Christian schools in the past and the Bible was taught, but unfortunately the administration focused on keeping the families that had deep pockets happy even if it meant that teaching about Jesus was watered down to make them feel more comfortable. Valor is all about teaching the entire Bible and the love Jesus has for us all. The entire faculty have a huge heart for Jesus and all of their students. When we came to Valor, it was like being welcomed home after a long painful Odyssey. Jesus is definitely at work in this school!

Tables/Chairs: chairs provided, 6' tables not provided. Two floors of holiday shopping! As a vendor, this is one place where I made a NEW RECORD HIGH. One reason why I gave one less star: I didn't find anyone to help us, all the students were helping other vendors load their stuff back to the car, and we have to climb up & down the stairs. Only @ the last minute, we found out, they have elevators. NO ONE told us, about it, not even the organizers! I have to find the organizer, she came by my booth, not introducing herself.

I have legimate walking challenges and cannot park far and bring my dog to park to exercise her. Fully capable able bodied High School students can walk to other parking lot for their cars. The High school students are too lazy to park in parking lot at Hazelia dog park. Why have a high school which students attend where you cannot park at the school of have permit parking makes no sense. So many students are fully able bodied capable of walking to big parking lot to get their cars yet they wanna take up spaces by dog park because too lazy to park in parking lot and take the spaces away from a disabled person who has walking challenges. Yes there's handi cap spaces in parking lot but its far to walk. Its very fustrating the High School students taking up the spaces by dog park.

As an education professional and someone with many friends in education, I offer some bold words:…read morethe opinion that Lakeridge may be the best public high school in the state. Recent scandals involving the football program notwithstanding, students continue to excel at Lakeridge. The school is filled with caring and knowledgable teachers and staff, and students know this. I truly believe that the positive mentoring relationship between students and staff is valued by both parties. A final note: if I had teenagers, I would move just to make sure they attended Lakeridge.

I have updated my review from a 2 star to a 4 star after talking with the owner Tiffany. Original…read morereview below. I absolutely adore the teachers at good life. They are very patient and kind. They helped my son build a lot of confidence and autonomy. He always come home with a smile for the most part. When we first started the first month of drop off was hard but they help him feel safe and secure. If you are like me, a worrier, I would caution you against enrolling in the Newberg location downtown. Tiffany has two location one in Dundee and one in Newberg. I wanted to enroll in the Dundee location but it was full. I am not comfortable at all with the traffic of the homeless population going threw there. If this doesn't bother you then disregard. If I could I would give the good Life a 5 star and the Chehalem center a negative 100. Original review 2 star review "The teacher are amazing. That have really helped my son blossom. The reason for the low review it due to their Newberg location at the Chehalem Culture Center. Most mornings you will encounter homeless people treating the front entrance and park like a hotel. When raising concerns with the Director of the Chehalem center I was ignored. Tiffany the owner of the business reach out to me, but still nothing has changed. I even reach out to the police serval time but the Chehalem center refused to have the individual trespass so their hands are tie, all they can do is ask them to leave."

Jesuit High School is a well rounded, inclusive school with excellent academics, arts and athletics. While the faith component is strong, one does not have to be Catholic to attend. Nor does one have to come from a wealthy family; 25% receive financial aid. They provide a stellar education while teaching students the importance of being a contributing member of society, taking care of themselves while also looking out for and caring about others. Community service is a graduation requirement. Students not only learn about problems Facing today's society,, they are encourage to develop and apply solutions. This should be part of every school's curriculum, imho.

I moved to oregon and finished all my primary education, came back to so cal for college and have been here ever since. i've lived in la longer than anywhere else. yet why do i call oregon home? maybe i don't want to be an angeleno. or maybe home is where you go to high school? whenever i am home in beaverton, oregon. i tend to drive around my area to see how things have changed and i always drive by sunset. i slow down and lower my window and just linger and look at the sign about the new game, or school play and let it all come back to me. how i remember high school and how it really was, is probably 2 different things. i thought i was a character, memorable. i remember speaking to mr. shlegal, a teacher i really got along with, a lot of time had passed but he didn't remember me. he was sorry but told me class clowns like me come through ever year. i remember mr. coply my ap econ and ap history teacher. i saw him some place and he didn't recognize me. i thought i was an econ and history prodigy but probably one of me every year... though one person i swear does recognize me is my old wrestling coach, coach parker. haha i always got this notion he still holds a grudge when i quit the team my senior year. whats funny is i still wrestle and compete to this very day, but now its more like ufc (not useful funny cool but ultimate fighting championship) style. i remember when westview was built and our school looked old and small and they took half our students and all our best athletes...freakin westview!!! i remember friends becoming enemies, friends being separated, because of new school boundaries... i remember break dancing in the halls. listening to my walkman at all times. wearing my letterman's jacket as a badge of honor and pride. pride... some kids hate their high school, or their experience. high school was rough. but needed to make me who i am. i made life long friends i still talk to, not a lot of people can say that. my best friend from then is my best friend now. my car from then is my car still. hey who says sam can't keep a long term relationship! i even still wrestler dammit haha. i still got school pride. i remember blushing when girls used to ask me for my jackets or if i could show them a move, or for me to dance a lil bit. i remember making home movies with my friends with hopes of becoming a filmmaker. i remember writing a lot. i remember picking on a lot of other people and smacking kids around. the bullied becomes the bully sometimes. i remember smoking behind the school, i remember drinking at my friends house and falling in love with liquor. I remember catcher in the rye and robert cormier books and the great gatsby and ethan frome and crime and punishment and so many more. i remember garretty and zinn. i remember warm summers eating outside, laughing, and care free eating orange creamcicles. before i was an adult. i was a human being. it was almost idyllic, or thats how i remember it. i remember what it felt like to be at home. i remember pride. sunset apollos.

It is not shiny. But you know what? Our kids love it. It's comfortable and homey and clean. I feel good when I leave my kids. The outside play is awesome. They have a huge covered spot for the kids to run around and play even when it's raining (and it does that from time to time here in Oregon!). I love that my kids come back and have learned new songs or poems. My 4-year old can write her name and my 2-year old knows the months of the year! They provide lots of activities, so the kids almost always have something to look forward to. Picnic days, bouncehouse, clowns, picture day, reptile man, Tumblebus, Soccer Shots... it's so much fun! The location can't be beat (tucked away) and it doesn't feel like an institution. They allow the kids to get messy (my kids play HARD at this school, which means great bedtime!) and are always doing cool/fun artwork. I wholeheartedly recommend Blue Skies and Butterflies to everyone!!!

Not a preschool, as they claim…read more The only pro- It's a convenient location for us and the facility is in a great neighborhood with lots of playgrounds for the kids. On the exterior, it looks clean, well kept, and located on a spacious lot. The staff there is relatively friendly and seem to be interactive with the kids. Not sure if our negative experiences are due to the management but I wish I could give more positive feedback. We took our child there for over two years and its been an "ok to negative" experience. There have been a few incidents that have made us question why we didn't switch day cares sooner. When my husband or I would pick up our child, we both agreed, that the environment felt dirty. Whether it be sticky floors, stained walls and/or surfaces, or fowl smells, we stop to think about the germs that must be circulating. Our son was constantly sick, including hand foot and mouth, on multiple occasions. The food that's served to the kids (only posted on a board unless asked for a copy every month) are horrible. I'm not sure that corn dogs are a healthiest option even if you're serving it with sugared fruit or canned veggies. Some daycares serve "quick serve foods" such as corn dogs, due to lack of equipment, but blue skies has no excuses. They have a fully equipped kitchen that is capable of cooking healthier food options. For the amount that they charge, they are hesitant to provide documents. When we have requested any additional items, such as a receipt for our monthly payment, we had to ask multiple times and then told by the manager that we have to keep asking until "squeaky wheel gets the grease". No thank you. As far as communication with your teacher..there is a chart posted on the classrooms for parents to look at at the end of the day. This chart shows whether or not your child napped or ate, with check marks, however more then half the time, it's not filled out. If I ask the teacher there at the end of the day if my child ate lunch or not, they say they don't know. Really?! When we pick up our child at the end of the day, our son is always filthy. We started a habit awhile ago of not touching anything at home until we wash hands. Sometimes we take a bath before dinner, it's so bad. Kids get dirty, We understand that, but It doesn't even seem like they wipe they're noses. During our time at blue skies, the director of the facility was never present and had no communication with us. We've never been asked for feedback for improvement or approached about how our experience is with the staff or facility. We believe in some type of communication with the director of our child's preschool/daycare. Blue skies is horrible, in our opinion. I would ask what matters most to you, a nice outdoor facility or having your child engaged and lead to their highest potential. Last but not least, If you'd like your child to be included and treated like their peers, I suggest looking elsewhere. The staff is not motivated to engage and redirect children who may need extra guidance.
