The schools certainly care about student success and well-being. My largest concern with my high school experience here are the focus on "traditional" measures of student success, like standardized test scores, as opposed to mental health. My second largest concern is that funding often seems misappropriated; the district spends millions on new facilities and unnecessary sports equipment (like two massive banners for the football team at my school) while arts programs have to fight for basic needs like scripts for the play. However, I would say that this is a very good district academically and in sports and certainly prepares its students overall.
Overall, I had a positive experience during my years in the Blue Valley School District. I was an active member in multiple activities, a straight A student and felt like I belonged in the community. My teachers cared deeply about me and would always go the extra mile to help me reach my highest potential. Junior Year, I needed some extra help with reading comprehension skills and I was placed in a reading lab for the fall and spring semester. I appreciated my counselor's help in finding the right solution for my individualized situation as well as the reading lab teacher for holding me accountable and making reading more enjoyable.
Only recently started to acknowledge the diversity throughout the district. Even though they did acknowledge it, their response to the racism throughout the district was below average and was quite disappointing at first, but, they since have begun to actually listen to the stories of the students. They are the only district who has not followed JOCO health department guidelines and has only decided to suspend fall sports for 2 weeks in comparison to cancelling it whole.
