My daughter goes to Kindergarten in this school.I will have to agree that some teachers are good and some are less than desirable.My daughter started with 18 kids in her class and now there are about 24. My experience with the office staff has not been very good. Anytime i have to go inside the administrative wing for something the cold stares and bad attitude just puts me off. Its the middle of the session and i hope things don't get worse than this.
McNair is the best elementary school in Herndon school community. Teachers are Outstanding. Thankyou Mcnair.
Great teachers starting from grade 3 to 6 . The teachers are excellent. They pay more attention kids. My kids have been here from kindergarden. When Oak Hill was the GT center, my kid went there for 3rd grade and then she had to come back to Mcnair as this became the GT center. I like McNair teachers performance when compared to it. Great school to send your kids.
Our daughter Shria goes to 3rd grade at McNair ES. She has a great teacher, Mr. De and we are very much satisfied about our daughter's performance. He gives innovative & interactive topics for homework and encourages collective learning. He gives big topics to make my daughter to think big, do some research/study and make her to use Microsoft tools like MS Word & Powerpoint. Thanks to Mr DeFrancesco.
This is a multi-ethnic School and you will not feel you are been segregated any where in the school. I feel always so much greeted that I feel shy.. I love this School....my both kids have been studying there since 2008 and I have had no complaints whatsoever. Keep up the good Teachers and Staff !!
This a very great school and it is just perfect, i wouldn't need anything else.
The staff in the school is not at all helpful.I found them to be very rude.My kid is not happy in the school.Unfrienndly envronment for the kids.English is not the main language spoken here.
Great Great school....my first grader is thriving here!!! looking forward to our second child joining KG next september.
I've put two children through this school in the last eight years. I have nothing but raving praise for the administration and teachers of this well organized, teamwork minded, professional, caring group. Every experience in music, academics, extracurricular, activities, clerical, and information management has been positive and superior. If you want your child to have ethnic diversity, wonderful curricula, be safe, excel, and grow, this is your school.
McNair is a wonderful elementary school. With the new principal, and the status of a GT center, this school is drawing the top students in the area. Teachers are hard working and very dedicated. The principal is very involved and has high expectations of staff and students. This is a school to watch. PTA and parent center are very supportive and offer many opportunities. Excellent school. We came from a local private school , which ended up being far inferior to the education offered at McNair.
