    "We enrolled our son for his junior year at Valley Forge Military Academy and were completely disappointed. When we spoke with the admissions office we were assured that if our son had any academic problems the school would provide the needed support. That never happened. We had to arrange on our own for one of the other students to help tutor our son and paid this student ourselves. There is also a complete lack of leadership from the school. They have had several changes at the top and I see again that they have an "acting" president of the school. The physical plant is very run down and the school has a very small endowment. I believe this is due to the lack of alumni support. Yes, some students do well and go onto to the 4 service academies. However, I spoke with many students when I visited my son and very few provided positive feedback. If I had to make the decision again I would not send my son to Valley Forge. There are other options which you should look at. This is not one to recommend."

    "In the past, Valley Forge was a great school with and had many cadets with character. Currently, however, the school lacks attention to facilities, faculty, and quality of education as well as many crucial aspects that make up a great school. The chain of command at the school often interrupt academic studies with trivial room inspections. Sleep deprivation is a huge problem here as the chain of command and tactical officers are very lenient on loud music and roommate inconsideration. Many times when my parents email the school, they are left with no reply. The heaters in some barracks (dorms) don't work and the bathrooms are all terrible. On the academic side; however, Valley Forge has several understanding teachers who do their job really well. The curriculum isn't challenging and is often obstructed by teachers coming and going but their are several reliable teachers. From my experience here, I do not recommend attending the school unless you really need to raise your grade by having an easier curriculum and you don't mind many of the annoying military traditions."

    "I loved this school after the admissions interview. It didn't deliver on 3 counts: Communication with parents is non existent. Calls weren't returned. the blackboard portal and newsletter were it. Second, your son needs to be a self motivator / athlete. They offer a lot - however, for a kid who doesn't want to be involved, they lack the "mentor or coaching" follow through. Finally, we were told that grades were watched closely and if a student began to decline academically, they would be required to meet with teachers. This didn't happen either. We got one call after my son was close to failing. There was no supervision to verify he met with teachers after school. There seems to be a real lack of communication within the professional staff at the school/barracks/study hall/coaches If your son wants to go and is motivated - great. If not, this isn't your best choice to develop and monitor his growth."

    "As aparent of a 2008 graduate of VFMA, and reading the report of bullying and theft, it is apparent to me that your child ose one of those who couldn't hack it in the militaristic style of life at this wonderful school. My only regret was that my son did not choose to atriculate in the college program which is a one of a kind oppurtunity. I would recommend this school to anyone to help their son to grow in leaps and bounds over all other schools, and you do not have to be able to afford it if your son is good enough to graduate from the program."
