    Oak Valley Middle School Reviews

    There's a lot of things I could say about this school but to say the least- these were the worst years of my life school wise so far. The teachers pick favorites, the administration ignores most serious issues in favor of taking care of the more well known students. All three years of middle school I was being sexually harassed by a male student and the office told me to "just ignore it". The pressure to perform well in order to keep up the school's reputation is immense. There are good things about the school, such as the mostly state-of-the-art technology, the food, and the good facilities for sports related activities.

    This school has a wonderful campus however some teachers are very unprofessional when it comes to communicating with students and parents. I wish they put more value on academic achievement. Few teachers emphasize college and high school readiness. There has been a negative school culture recently, which resulted in a relative being transferred .
    Oak Valley is a perfectly fine middle school. I had two very remarkable teachers in sixth and seventh grade who set the standards for which all of my teachers have been measured against. That does not mean that I did not like other teachers. In fact I had many pleasant experiences throughout my time there. There isn't much else to say. Oak valley was... fine.
