After nearly finishing one year at Glebe, I can say that we've had a terrific experience. My son's first grade teacher is incredibly understanding, the principal is always available to talk, and the gifted teacher has really inspired him. The school has adequate resources in terms of math and reading coaches, the faculty seem to work as a team, and the grounds are well kept. The PTA provides great support and there seem to always be community building activities going on.

Glebe is a wonderful school, the teachers are caring and truly know their students. The prinicpal, Ms. Borg and assistant principal, Ms. Clarke are great leaders. They are approachable and seem to really care about the students, school and community

Our son is high functioning on the autistic spectrum and attended Glebe for 5 years. It was, without qualification, a terrific experience for our entire family. The administration (all special educators by background) could not have been more flexible, creative, accomodating or supportive. The staff was friendly, outgoing and unfailingly patient with our child. The students were uniformly wonderful and truly understand (and have been taught to understand) what inclusion really means. I would STRONGLY recommend Glebe to any family, whether they have children with special needs or not. It is a terrific community.

If you have a special ed child that has high-functioning autism, beware! My son was placed in a self-contained setting, and I as the parent was 100% powerless in changing his situation and completely voiceless in the IEP process. I moved to the City of Falls Church who has an inclusion school district over this and he has been in a regular kindergarten with minimal support and thriving beautifully. This school failed my son and my family. My younger son was in the pre-school program, and it was top notch. But my child in kinder was stuck in a k-5 class. Leaving Arlington was the best decision of my life, and now my son has a chance at success in the real school environment.

My granddaughter has attended Glebe Elementary School from Montessori pre-school until the present (2nd grade). The staff is friendly, knows the children, works cooperatively with the parents, and there is a strong sense of community.

I have one child at Glebe who is very happy there. The teachers are good to great with a few exceptions (there is at least one who is asleep at the wheel and needs to move on.) The principal is very accessible to parents and students and the no-bullying policy is taken very seriously. My other child is in private school because the school's former gifted teacher was terrible (new one is much better, I'm told). The school is part of a wonderful and diverse community.

Glebe is a wonderful elementary school with a faculty of caring, competent teachers and very involved parents. The PTA is great. The special teachers are exceptional in their focus on the kids. I've heard from others that the the principal does not support teachers or their decisions when a conflict comes up. But she seems fine to me. The teachers all are premier in their field. I used to be a teacher so I know what they should be doing. I am so glad my children have been able to go to Glebe. They love it.

Glebe Elementary has provided a wonderful, warm, friendly, caring, creative environment for my children. I can't think of any teacher at Glebe that I would not want to teach my children and most are absolutely fabulous. The best thing about Glebe is the sense of community and the wonderful cultural diversity. Actually, I don't live in the Glebe district but I send my children there.
