My son was a transfer student from California to VRES. We have been very happy with the school overall but particularly with his 3rd-grade teacher, Mrs. Louton. Not only was she patient, kind, and considerate of my child but she differentiated his instruction to meet his needs. My son's 3rd-grade year was the first return from Covid and the excitement and engagement Mrs. Louton provided were exactly what we were hoping for.
