This school is peaceful and pleasant. The teachers and staff are happy to be there. Parents are pleasant and my children are in their excellent Spanish/English Dual Immersion program.

I'm very pleased at the progress my son is making in the Dual Immersion Spanish Program. By first grade he is writing and reading above grade level in both English and Spanish, though we only speak English at home. He is challenged through this program, where he might have bored at another school as an early reader. Definately happen we applied for a transfer, and I look forward to having my other child there soon.

My son is in 1st grade and started in the Dual Emmersion Spanish Kindergarten. It is the best elementary school in Richmond. He is an emerging bilingual student. What more do I want from a public school. He gets plenty of homework and he enjoys going to school.

My eldest went to this school from K-grade to 5th and is now in Private Middle School (Prospect Sierra). She is keeping up (academically) with kids that have had private schooling all their lives. Washington Elementary prepared her well. I have two other children at Washington and have nothing but good things to say about this school. I have no worries that when they are ready for Middle School, academically they will be able to compete with and become a part of any Private Middle School of their choosing.
