Overall pretty good, would love to see some renovations with the order schools (BVN and BVH). Academics are good, but for "one of the best school systems in the Midwest" I feel like maybe the science hallway shouldn't flood every other week and rats AND bats should no fall out of the ceiling. Overall a good district but the top brass makes some awful decisions sometimes.

I’m highly concerned that the math and reading proficiency levels are so low! Children don’t bring home any homework (how do they reinforce what they’re learning? And how do parents help their children when they don’t know what is being taught?) Yes, there are good teachers! But how on earth can you be good at your job when there is 25 students in your classroom?!
The Blue Valley Foundation raised close to half a million dollars this year and the money they receive from tax payers is $$$$, and still about HALF the students are proficient at reading and math at their levels? Insane.
