Family oriented, love the school because it's not too big, so not crowded. So far I've met some great student's that go there, no problems that I am aware of. Met the Principal (wonderful lady), the staff I've met so far are great people.

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.
