Rolling Valley Elementary School

There are a lot of great schools in this immediate area, you can't go wrong choosing one of them. But of course I prefer Rolling Valley. The principal and v. principal LOVE all of the students, even the ones that visit the office entirely too often. Academics are great but the teachers care more about the whole child. Last year my daughter's 6th grade teacher spent a lot of time helping my daughter learn to be more assertive and get more involved with the other students (she was very shy, not so much anymore). This year my 1st grader has been assigned a mentor - a trained adult member of the community - who comes to eat lunch with her once a week. This gives her the extra attention she has needed, and support I need, while her dad is deployed. Sure schools can teach academics but it is the little extras like helping a shy student or supporting one who is under more stress that makes this school stand out. Oh, and bullying? NOT TOLERATED! It still happens but the staff does all that they can to prevent it and support the child being bullied. Best Principals Ever!

I love this school. My daugher has attended it for two years, and the experience has been great. Not only do the teachers really care about the students, they also send informative and timely updates to parents. Great school!

School sucks. Have a happy evening studying with your child for a major test, with 1 night's notice. Teacher's lack of planning is your problem, and your child will start hating to go to school. And we ask, what is wrong with the US education system? Hmmmmmmmmmm..........Have a good evening!

The new principal and assistant principal are incredible, they are doing such a top notch job with the school. My kids love going here

Rolling Valley has a new administrative team this year and it's obvious how much they love the school. It is an awesome community school with great kids and super teachers.

RVES is a great school. The principal is leaving and a new one has been named. She comes with high recommendations and has achieved the highest ratings from her previous school within Fairfax County.

The staff and teachers are the best at Rolling Valley. The Principal is another story. She is hard to work with and not responsive to parent reqeusts. If she reached out to the parents more and explained her actions better, this would be a great school.
