Very limited communication from administration. Last minute notification of events and needs from the school. Too much Franklin Covey Leader in Me and too little academics. This school use to be a fabulous school and has been on the decline over the past 5 years. It is so sad to see. Close Quote

Great teachers and staff at VCE but I’ve been very disappointed with how the kids here behave. Not necessarily the schools fault as respect and kindness start in the home. I would maybe think twice here if you have a sensitive child to bullying and getting picked on. I don’t think there’s enough effort made by VCE against bullying imo compared to the 3 other Elementary schools we have attended. These behaviors would absolutely not be tolerated and I sincerely hope things get a little more strict in this particular area!!!! We have had great teachers so far though:) Close Quote

This is a great school in that there is a lot of parent involvement, but the administration proves difficult to communicate with when needed. Also, I have no idea how they say the student-teacher ratio is 17-1. My child has been there 4 years and has had 25-27 kids in class each year. This is far too much for one teacher to handle and the kids ultimately suffer. We've had a mediocre experience here at best, just not sure it's all that some say it is in the way of providing a stellar education. Close Quote

It is a big school that feels small. Many parents volunteer! Close Quote
