I thought this would be a great school for my son because we live so close but it was awful from day 1. The young men are out of control & the staff cannot control their behavior. The "security " is a joke. My son was afraid to go to school or even get on the school bus. My son isn't a fighter & was getting in fights every other week. The teachers do nothing to prevent or stop the fighting. The Principal is more concerned with the young mens hairstyles & humiliating them then the safety of his students. Choose a different school for your son.

VVBLA did more than prepare my son for kindergarten. There was tons of discipline, structure, encouragement, and caring staff. In just PreK my son learned to change classes, Spanish and ASL. I loved VVBLA

Love my school. Love my fellow staff members. We have new leadership, but he inspires confidence in me so I am remaining confident. We are as are most schools under a lot of scrutiny and pressure but I feel blessed being here.
