I have had a great experience with Mission Valley. My child has ADHD & has had 4 wonderful teachers who have worked hard & spent extra time to ensure his needs are met so he has every opportunity to succeed to the best of his ability. I think as long as the parents are proactive & work with their child's teachers to let them know what works best then their child should have a good chance of succeeding at this school.

Mission Valley Elementary School
I feel like they do not do enough for the children who are slower at learning. I feel like the pushed my son through all year and now they are being harder on him because they are recommending retention.
