(5 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - I have been very happy with Valencia school so far. My daughter is in Kindergarten there and has a wonderful teacher. Most of the other teachers I've come across there are great as well. The principal Mrs. Higginbotham is really professional and cares for the kids very much. My daughter is learning fast and I am very happy with her growth since the beginning of the year.
