Mount Eagle is a great school. I am the parent of a kindergartener enrolled here. The staff is great and the communication between the administrators and parents is excellent. The school has numerous functions and the most of the time the parents are in attendance at these events. My child is excelling in this school and I look forward to many more years to come.

Wonderful neighborhood school. No longer a secret as it was just named a 'Model Professional Learning Community' because of its' focus on raising student achievement. In 2008-2009 90 percent of it's students passed the math and reading state test. The teaching staff is spectacular and the administration is solid. This is a Title I school that prides itself on showing that no matter who the students are they will get a quality education. The rating of three is rediculous. This school is at least 10!

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.
