London Towne Elementary School

My daughter just graduated from 6th grade at LT and was in the Spanish Immersion Program. She loved the school and made many great friends. The school has a small town feeling about it. Her teacher for both 5th and 6th grade was Sr Acuna. He was by far her favorite teacher. Not only did he challenge her academically, but taught the children valuable life lessons. We hope to have another Sr Acuna type teacher in the future!

I went to this school I graduated in the year 2008-09. I have to say those 7 years have been amazing I have a lot of fond memories of LT. Being in Spanish Immersion I was really close to my classmates. Sometimes LT wasn't the best at teaching. I had a little difficulty on my science sol 8th grade year due to the lack of science teaching at London Towne ( I still managed to receive a 528 a pass advanced) Sure some of the teachers aren't the best but there're really some exceptional teachers Sr. Acuana for intense he was my 6th grade teacher was amazing I learned so much more from his class then just academics ( I was in compacted math that year) Sr. Acuana who I consider the treasure of LT gave us life lessons,kindness and actually cared for his students. We would always have a good time in that class. GT program is great! It prepared me so much for my honor classes. PE with Mr. Birdge is amazing a lot of parents have kids who complain about PE but those kids don't attend LT where every student looks forward to gym class. On the last day of LT career I was in tears. I love LT so much that every chance I get I try to volunteer there. Go Lions!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We have had children at this school for the past 7 yrs. When we first transferred (reluctantly) in from a private Christian school, we were guarded, having heard nightmare stories about public shools. At that time, we were very impressed. The past 2 years have made us move back to the guarded category, although, frankly, we are done at LTES this year. I have seen recent evidence pointing toward teacher burnout, and administration inability to respond effectively to concerns. This school is headed for trouble.

As a parent, I have noticed low expectations in the academic area as well. I have plans of bringing this to the attention of the principal who in my opinion is not that engaging... but I'll try nonetheless.

I agree with the low expectations, especially in the behavior area. My son had to deal with a lot of days where he came home with headaches because the class was out of control. WHen a 5th grader complains about his peers' behavior, there is a problem!!

I am a retired teacher (Loudon County) but have lived in the neighborhood of London Towne for many years. I am very involved in the community here. While the teachers seem nice enough, I have become concerned with how many parents are expressing to me that some teachers and administrators have low expectations for the students. As a previous president once said, "Soft bigotry of low expectations". So, I would tell parents to be aware of what their child is learning and what academic expectations are being set for their child. Thank you for allowing me to share this.

I went to this school, and now my child attends. Its been a fairly organized school, with good teachers and staff.

I love London Towne Elementary School! My daughter is a 2nd grader and has thrived beautifully at school. London Towne has experienced, compassionate and caring teachers and a very hardworking administrative staff. Our community is very exicited that we have a new principal, Ms. Ryberg, who will bring a fresh perspective and a wealth of experience. Our humble little school is now in its 40th year of educating the children of our 'Towne' of Centreville, VA. Our children are receiving a quality education in a safe, diverse and fun environment. And the before- and after-school program ('SACC') is fantastic. We love London Towne ES -- Go Lions!!!
