I am very happy with how this school did with my children. They truly care for the children. They do have to deal with those kids that are difficult, as is the case with most public schools, but in general they maintain a very good atmosphere for learning.

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.
