Rating 3 out of 5
MVL is strong in academics, and the students there are respectful and accepting of their peers. The best teachers and coaches are good at their jobs and genuinely care about their students. However, the worst teachers and coaches are some of the most inept educators I have ever encountered. They can be incredibly inappropriate with students, vindictive, and nepotistic. Additionally, the administration is incredibly overbearing, and care more about the school’s image and test scores than the learning of their students. They have extreme tendencies that border on dictatorial, and are unstable and inconsistent with their punishments. The school sports are also inconsistent in their quality. The best sports are strong teams with talented athletes, while the worst teams are terribly coached. Overall, MVL is a school with great potential marked by strong academics, athletics and good kids, but is held back by the faculty that represent everything that gives Christian schools a bad name.

The best parts of Minnesota Valley Lutheran is the culture and safety. I have never felt safer than at MVL. At MVL all of the lockers are left open, and no one is worried about anything being stolen. You never have to worry about your safety or the safety of your personal items. The culture is also great. The schools is like a giant family. The faculty knows almost everyone by name and they almost never forget. The teachers are always willing to answer question and will spend extra time after school to help you. There is only one part that is not so good. The food is definitely on the lower end of quality for some meals, but some of the meals are absolutely amazing.

MVL prepared me with intensive courses, but it fell short in exposing me to learning diverse topics regarding culture, religion, gender, and more. I hope that the school implements a larger range when teaching about diversity.
