Quaker Valley High School has wonderful teachers, counselors and a top notch special education department. However the bullying and harassment policy need some work to keep up with society today. The students can be very cruel to each other causing harm to one another emotionally and physically from the stress. A matter of fact this is the worst district for bullying we have ever experienced. We hope what we went through never happens to another family. When bullying and harassment starts it should be stopped in its tracks immediately. Zero tolerance for bullying should be upheld, especially in an upstanding district like Quaker Valley School District. This is not the case at QV. The students need to learn how to deal with consequences of their actions no matter who their parents are or how much money they give to the school district! Often times they do not, so as we have witnessed over the years in this school district these children turn into young adults not knowing how to treat or respect people. This is NOT what our World need now! Step it up Quaker Valley and follow your own bullying and harassment policy. Stand up for no bullying in schools and by PA law that includes the responsibility of zero tolerance for bullying on social media as well!!! Close Quote
