I personally think the coeburn schools have gone down hill. don't like most of the staff now. they are not friendly... I think they need new principal and assistant principal they have their nose ten feet in the air.... not friendly to talk to or to address issues with. I find they are snobbish and judgemental. They have their own picks of favorite kids. They do not control bullying good. They used to have such great teachers but not anymore.

It has recently came to parents attention that the luch room is running out of food that is on the menu, and reheating meals they have used prior that week. The assistant principal yells at our children to put their heads down at lunch time sometimes before the children are finished eating. This is unacceptable. Most teachers do not pay attention to those with lower incomes, there are some exceptions but not many. For all children to be able to grow this should stop. You do not favor one child over another. I can count the teachers on one hand who are excellent. One hand. That should say something about this school.

The change of traffic flow is not only stressful but dangerous for both pedestrians and drivers. Concerns I ve had about my childs education have been ignored by the teacher and principal. I felt like more attention was on them covering their jobs and possible lawsuits. Homework is not a review but new material the parent is expected to teach and students tested on.

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.
