John W. Tolbert Junior Elementary School

Not a good school for your special ed. child. My kiddo was stuck with those two special ed. teachers you were referring to, and they were terrible! They were extremely rude and lazy.

I understand your pain. Tolbert is not a school you would want your child with special needs to attend. I cant say on this site the name of the special education teachers, but to give you a hint, one is older, one is younger and they always share a classroom. If your child is assigned to either of these special education teachers.....run, run, run! If you ever have a problem with either of these teachers, dont contact the assistant principal. They will not do anything about it. Go straight to the principal.

We moved almost year ago to VA, and our daughter started 4th grade in Tolbert. We are really happy with school and teachers. School staff is very friendly and cooperative with parents. We like diversity at school, racial and social. Our daughter likes field trips and things that she learns in school, especially Science. We like Mrs. Galati who is so dedicated teacher. Teachers in this school love their job. The most important is that our daughter loves school (teachers and kids). The only thing we would change in this school is lunch menu at cafeteria.

The school is great at keeping the kids focused and learning at all times. I love the respect theme.

We've been nothing but impressed with this school. Our daughter went to Kindergarten and now finishing up 1st grade here at Tolbert and it has been the most rewarding experience. This school offers many after school programs, ie. science, art, chess, cheerleading, volleyball, indoor soccer, pom dance, etc. just to name a few. Also, the teachers and administration are first class. Parent involvement is welcomed and there are numerous opportunities to get involved! I would highly recommend this school to anyone considering it.
