My son is in kindergarden and he loves school he says his teacher is great. He looks forward to going to school ever day
—Submitted by a parent


Posted December 27, 2004

The one quality that stands out about this school is the high expectations the teachers have of their students. These teachers do not cut corners or make earning a high grade easy. Students are expected to always put forth their best effort, but are reminded when that effort just isn't quite good enough to be considered 'excellent'. This only keeps the students striving to do better. There are also many extracurricular activities for the students including skating, after school enrichment classes, reflections, chorus and art lessons.

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.
