Clearview Elementary School

Clearview is a wonderful school. Very friendly staff and teachers. Lots of activities and programs enough to keep you and your kids busy.

After a year of a new principal, Clearview is a very different school. Many school employees are stressed by the undue pressure from administration and by the unrealistic amount of work and documentation that is now required of them. It is a shame that so many of the truly dedicated teachers are losing heart. "Teaching to the test" is the norm there and closing the achievement gap is the priority. While the new principal may have had the best of intentions, the implementation of changes should have been done in a more respectful manner.

Clearview is a neighborhood school. It has the feeling of family and provides a nurturing environment for all students. Yes some of the staff live in the neighborhood but certainly not most. Many travel from other counties. The previously mentioned principal has left the school and our new prinicipal shows great promise. I have never known such a caring group of teachers and support staff who strive every day to provide for each child. Unfortunately classroom size and the needs of children with little support at home gives the staff a phenomenal task. The feeling offamily they do provide for the children offers a great context for learning.

This school is run by a principal who has no control over the teachers. If you are not friends with the teachers, PTA officers or live in the immediate neiborhood, don't expect your child to be noticed. Also, most of the staff and PTA do live in aformentioned neighborhood.

Clearview is a great school. It is home for the very good Gifted and Talented program for the Herndon area. My child is involved in this program and has been able to take advanced math, along with more indepth science, history and English. It's been great. The school also has a HeadStart program and high quality special education services.
