This school is a true gem. The principal has built a reputation of hiring the best staff around. The school has a very high rate of success in working with a range of students. Academic and Behavioral expecatations are high for each and every student and the staff continually challenges itself to get better. The PTA has a wonderful president who will serve another term in 2005-2006. Parents seem to be involved but afford the staff the respect that they deserve as professionals. This school has very little discipline problems to speak of. Teachers use opportunites to teach students about choices and that they are responsible for these choices. The office staff, the building manager and custodians, the kitchen staff, instructional assistants, teachers, parents, instructional assistants, SAAC progam and all other support personnel take extreme pride in what they do to make this, in my opinion, the best elementary school in the county!

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.
