There are not enough good words to say about this school- it is top notch in the county. The administration is excellent, visible, and involved. The extracurricular activities are infinite. I am thoroughly impressed with everything about this school. Not to mention, the facility is beautiful and well maintained.

This school is excellent. There are tons of after school programs and the administration is always readily available and willing to help. The facility is beautiful, built in 2002. The students are well behaved and respectful. This school gets an A+.

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.
