The same girl has told someone to kill themselves then continued to rudely talk about her teammates. After this report there was said to be someone who was going to take care of it and talk to this girl. It has been weeks and nothing has been said or taken care of. Janitell needs to do better about bringing justice to the students who do wrong.

Last evening, I attended a get-together of Los Angeles-area FVS grads and parents of grads. I am a…read moreparent of two grads ('02 and '04). Although all the attendees had experienced FVS at different times spanning more than half a century, what struck me last evening was how similar our experiences were. As we visited among ourselves, person after person (myself included) spoke from the heart, sharing stories of transformation, of students' growing self-confidence and self-awarenes, of students being "seen" and "known" by teachers and staff, of students being especially well prepared for college. At the time that my daughters attended, I was a single parent with a limited income. Almost the entirety of my daughters' tuition was paid for by the school. They were treated with the same respect as were the paying students. Prior to coming to Fountain Valley, my older daughter was not finding enough academic challenge in the local schools where we lived. When she wrote her college application essay, she wrote that the willingness of FVS to accept her as a student "saved her life." It certainly transformed it. While schools can change over time, and while I have not been on campus for many years, I can tell you that the culture at FVS is, at its heart, student-centered, kind, unpretentious, a place where students can feel free to discover who they are, and a place that offers tremendous opportunities. Thank you, Fountain Valley.

I'm just reviewing the dining room here because Yelp is mainly a restaurant review site:…read more My son says the food gets way better when parents are visiting and that it's usually awful, and there is some truth to that. They offer DIY sandwiches with fruit and salad spreads on parent visiting days, but I've been there on "normal" days and found the food to be more varied, healthier, fresher and better prepared than anything I was ever offered in high school. I like the omelette station at breakfast, the ever present fresh fruits, and most of the the warm entrees. The pizza is only 2 stars, but these punks can have four star pizza from Borrellio Brothers delivered to their dorms, so thats no big deal. That kid has no idea how good he has it.

I cannot stress enough: do not send your children to this school. The principal was condescending,…read moreaggressive, and completely disrespectful. She invaded my personal space, treated me with blatant bias, and left me frustrated, intimidated, and questioning how parents are even tolerated. Respect and professionalism are nonexistent here. The environment for students is alarming and unsafe. I have serious reason to believe at least one staff member may be using illegal drugs, and it's obvious that substance use--alcohol or drugs--is impacting the competence of some staff. Children are being cared for by people who appear impaired, unprofessional, and biased. Combined with administration that is incompetent, dismissive, and unsafe, this school is a disaster waiting to happen. If you value your children's safety, well-being, or even basic decency, look elsewhere. This school fails on every level--parents and children alike will be disrespected, endangered, and treated unfairly. Accountability, professionalism, and safety are completely absent.

To update my review:…read more With the new recreation center and the memberships that you're able to sign up for my rating has significantly increased. The membership prices are fair and you get a discount if you live within the area. You get unlimited pool access, access to a gym, a walking track, the basketball/pickle ball/volleyball courts. There are also lots of classes you can sign up for. Oh! It also sounds like there will be even more upgrades coming in the future.

The whole schools grading system is based on the idea of "if you can copy what the teacher wrote and copy the notes down on the 'test', then you pass." Also being apart of their "gifted and talented" program and getting an honor roll certificate, it doesn't really mean anything. It just means you can copy notes and do the bare minimum. In my opinion this school is for the kids who can just hardly do the bare minimum, so that reaching the bare minimum deserves a nice little piece of paper with their name on it and "honor roll" written across the top in shiny golden letters so they can feel all warm and special for simply paying attention and taking the time to write a few sentences.
