School Reviews麻豆果冻传媒>4 2/17/2020Great school, but the only issue I have is with the librarian who feels she has the right to indoctrinate students with her anti-American ideology. She promotes her radical views by being verbal and displaying her beliefs throughout the library for students to view. She needs to keep her political opinions to herself and perhaps turn off the television, do factual research, and educate herself a bit more on politics. Its teachers like her who ruin the young minds of our children and give their schools a bad name. Also, some of her choice in books for the children to check out from the library is not educational, yet utter garbage with extreme foul language and violence/murder. This sort of literature does not belong in children's library, let alone a school!!2 4/7/2017The school is bad but the soccer team is good5 8/21/2014Apple Valley Middle is a wonderful school with great teachers.
