This school is definately below any other school my son has gone to. They do nothing to challenge gifted students. The teachers are great as far as teaching 'normal' stuff but for kids who need a little more of a challenge they are unable to make exceptions. They get the same education the lowest kid in the county recieves.

About the tests


In 2011-2012 Virginia used the Standards of Learning (SOL) tests to assess students in reading and math in grades 3 through 8, writing in grades 5 and 8, science in grades in 3, 5 and 8, and history in grades 3 through 8. The SOL tests are standards-based, which means they measure how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Virginia. The goal is for all students to pass the tests.
