I love this school my son started kindergarden here and he loved it the teachers are great as well as the staff. As for the school he's at now W TOWNES LEA since we moved I'm no way impressed with it all the staff we have had so many problems with him since he has ADHD. we never had any problems with him when he was at sc hoolfield and his grades were extermely better.

My daughter started kindergarten this year here and I am very pleased with everything about this school! They have started this new program about 'Breakthrough to Literacy' that combines book lessons with computer lessons that I got to observe and I think it is wonderful! Her teacher is very easy to communicate with. The school is great about keeping parents informed.

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.
