This school is pure fun. Of course in every school there will be a bunch of bad kids, but there at good ones out of the bunch. They have tutors, keep parents in touch by sending home letters, and excellent teachers. They activities are enjoyable. It's not hard to pass, just pay attention, listen, and do your work. I say this school is awesome!

I actually worked at this school as a reading tutor and I did my undergraduate practicum there. The teachers that I worked with were good, but I cannot say I was impressed with the staff as a whole. If you want to hear a lot of yelling and belittling of children...visit Lindenwood. Unfortunately the teachers do not treat the children with respect.

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.
