Subpar compared to other elementary schools in Loudoun County. Do you homework and visit a few of the other schools with your children over the summer. I think the PTA spent $100k on a playground set, how many educational field trips to the Smithsonian could have been taken instead?

Moved from the famed Fairfax county school system and find this school extraordinary. The teachers, staff, and principal are completely hands on,, very involved and genuinely excited to be at Culbert. This is a place where all of my children feel valued, safe, and happy. Their positive teaching style and attention to providing an excellent, balanced education is top notch.

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.
