Lawson-Marriott Elementary School

I am thrilled with the amount of hard work the teachers invest in the students at Lawson. It is a rural school with a nice mix of ethnicities. We moved to King and Queen from a very large blue ribbon Elementary school located in a different state nonetheless, the quality of education at this school does not seem too far behind and only getting better! I am very pleased with Lawson and heard so many negative comments when moving here that I felt it necessary to let others know...keep your money in the County and send your child to Lawson. It is a great school! It is up to the parents to get involved!

I have had three children going through Lawson over the past 19 years and this is a GREAT scholl with GREAT teachers, that just keeps getting better and better! The school motto is: "Enter to Achieve, Leave to Succeed", and these children will. The first thing you still hear when you move into King & Queen County is, "You're not going to send your children to THOSE schools, are you?" That is so insanely racist, unfair, and untrue I can't even begin to deal with it! We are white, and I'm telling you that if all the folks who have sent their children (and money) to other schools, private schools, or homeschooled had invested that time and energey in our public school system - well, just imagine where we would be!
