DO NOT SEND YOUR KIDS HERE THEY ENCOURGE BULLYING AND PHYSICAL VIOLENCE THEY WILL MAKE SURE KIDS BEAT UP YOUR KID AND MAKE HIS LIFE MISERABLE IT LOOKS GARTE ON PAPER OR WHEN YOU VIST BUT THE WORSE COMES OUT WHEN THE PARENTS LEAVE YOU WONT KNOW TILL YOU GET A CAL FROM THE ER BEACUSE YOUR KIDS WAS BEATEN WITH A HOCKEY SSTICK AND STABED OR BEACUSE 10 KIDS GANGED UP AND BEET THE CRAP OUT OF A INCENT KID THEY WILL COVER IT UP AND VALLEY VEIW IS GETTING SUED BEACUSE OF THIS THIS IS AWEFUL PALCE MY KID NOW HAS PTSD PTSD. For years, HE nightmares in which he was back in the valley view dorms. Loud noises and voices caused me to flinch even into his 20s, and any time someone was angry with he immediately got a fight-or-flight response: he didn't want to be picked up and thrown or restrained. --- Valley View's only saving grace is that it is far less horrible than Elan, but there are still better things out there.

I am an ex-student who was sent for 2.5 years (graduating around 2002). After I left, I was fortunate enough to eventually end up in a school that focused on positive reinforcement. Without that, I would be in a very different place than I am today. --- Between that fortunate school and VVS, I attended another boarding school with 3 other VVS graduates. All of us but one were expelled or "left" within the first year; the last was a known troublemaker. I don't know what happened to him. --- Valley View School left me with what I think was basically PTSD. For years, I had nightmares in which I was back in the valley view dorms. Loud noises and voices caused me to flinch even into my 20s, and any time someone was angry with me I immediately got a fight-or-flight response: I didn't want to be picked up and thrown or restrained. --- Valley View's only saving grace is that it is far less horrible than Elan, but there are still better things out there.

Short to say. Sounds like what you could expect from such a place.
