I love this school and so does my son. It's the best of both worlds, the ratio of a private school with the services of a county school. Hard to believe that such a school exists in Loudoun County where so many schools are crowded. The building is a bit out of date however the education is not. Teachers and Staff are best in class!

Banneker is a great elementary school. The parents and staff are very dedicated. We have found the teachers very willing to challenge our children, make learning fun, and encourage development. The physical ed, art, music, and library are very well staffed as well and add a great deal to the curriculum. Everyone is friendly too. We are glad we are at such a nice small school.

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.
