My son has attended this school for 2 years now and we love it! He is in the Montessori program, and is thriving! He is an advanced learner, and the teacher is very good at making sure that he remains challenged. The support system here is wonderful, and the Principal (Mrs Hawkins) is very available and receptive. I would highly recommend this school for anyone wanting a top notch education for their child.

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.
