I was surprised to see all the positive reviews here! I had a terrible experience at Stenwood with my kids. The administration is seriously lacking in depth and experience. They don't seem to know how to handle problems that arise, or how to deal with over-bearing parents. They fired a teacher that my daughter loved because of a single incident where, as I understand, no child was hurt, lost, or scolded. They fired this teacher because of a parent's involvment in the issue, instead of taking care of it themselves. Also, the special education department is in serious need of new teachers and better curriculum for the students who are in special education (my son!). I was very disappointed with the experience here. (I do agree with other reviewers that the music program is excellent). I can't wait to move!

This is a fine school. Lots of parent involvement. Caring, competant teachers. I'm very pleased! They are very up on dealing with disruptive kids - bullies and the like - while knowing they are dealing with kids who make mistakes and are learning (growing up).

Dear Parents, Stenwood is a great school with wonderful music program. The music teacher Marti Pittman has took the Advanced recorder ensemble to Norfolk to play at a ballroom with judges. Most elementary school dont even have a recorder ensemble. Also this school has many thing you can chose from music. For example i can sign up for chrous band and recorder ensemble all at once.

Our daughter has attended Stenwood for the past two years and loves it. Her classroom teachers have been warm, caring, and patient -- qualities which are essential in helping her learn. Although her class size seemed large this year, she has become a great reader and has made good progress in her math skills. The centers approach seems to have worked for her. Parents are very involved, and there is concerted effort in keeping parents informed of school events. In addition to her wonderful classroom teachers, our daughter particularly likes the counselor, music, and P.E. teachers.

Having a child with special ed problems the school seems to have the most difficulty dealing with these children. They have all types of resources at their disposal yet, my son has been in this school for 4 years now and we still have problems and no one has been able to deal with him effectively.
