“Having moved to a high end part of California, I was quick to realize that there is nothing, not even a private school, that compares with Vanderburg. We sincerely miss nothing of the valley, the corrupt religious leaders and politicians, the heat, the cold, the winds... But we miss Vanderburg!”

“2 of my 3 children go to Vanderburg, and I can't wait for the third to be old enough to go! Such an amazing school-the vice principal is very hands-on and extremely caring. Vanderburg is the #1 thing that keeps us in Henderson!”

“All four of my children attend Vanderburg, and it is a fantastic school. It is agressive and challenging , above all in tune with their students.. Both the principle and the assistant principle are personable and active in the academic lives of their students and teachers. My family and I had an unexpected loss in our family, and the entire school, and staff have been there for all of us. I could not have asked for such a smooth, protective transition for my children...”

“The principal & vice principal have a great deal to do with the success of this school. The teachers are rather talented but the leadership takes a hands-on approach. They know my kids' names and they watch the school as if every student was their own child. The PTA and overall parent involvement is excellent (more so than the school across the parking lot). Like previous comments, the area is good but I don't see the same type of parent involvement with Twitchell or Bartlett like you have here.”

“Great school for success, that is if you (as a parent) strive for success. There are many opportunities for parent involvement and there is a great diversity among the parents - From working class to multi-millionaires. The Green Valley Ranch area fosters a level of expectation and, if you care enough to participate in your child's life, you will get much from this school. This is the diamond on an otherwise crappy school district. In fact, most of the top schools in the state are all within a short drive of this area. That is mainly because of the community - It fosters excellence.”

“Vanderburg is one of the best schools in one of the worst districts in the country. If you come from an area where there are good schools you would probably consider this school average. School uniforms and the rest are just window dressing to gloss over the fact that they basically just drill for the standardized tests (who's scores have been falling slightly in recent years). Nevada is desperate for teachers and it shows. Not all of the teachers are bad but a disturbingly high percentage are sub-par. Overall, not as bad as it could be considering that this is Clark County Nevada but not as good as you might hope for either.”

“Very rigid, structured program with little room for creativity or individuality. Mandatory uniforms. Admin does not like parental input.”

“Amazing school, my Daughter went there from K-1/2 of 5th grade. The school is ran very well. Organized and in control. The Teachers are all united from grade to grade, so it was always a smooth transition at the start of a new school year. I don't think I appreciated the Principal and Staff as much as I do now that we have relocated and this new school although good extremely un organized and lack of controls form the Principal. You should be proud to have your child attend Vanderburg Elementary it's like a family and they up hold values. Thank You Vanderburg.”

“This is a great school with wonderful teachers! I have two children that are currently attending this school and have had a great experience and I believe a great education so far. If there is a problem in a subject, they will address it right away and go out of their way to help a student! We feel lucky to have our children attend this school.”
