I have two kids that went to this school. One in third grade and one in first grade. They both attended since kindergarten. Unfortunately, we had to move out of state. I was sad to leave this wonderful school. My kids had great teachers each year and it seems that everyone that works there is happy to be there. Great School!

Windsor Woods is an excellent school with quality teachers and by far the best Principal.

My daughter has been at Windsor Woods for 3 years and we are very sad to leave because of a military transfer. The teachers and staff are very caring and they all want your child to succeed. Ms. Carpenter is the Asst. Principle and is the best I have met so far. We will miss this school very much!!

What a great school especially the teaching staff. They cared about my child's success. Did I mention that this year they are in a brand new school with State-of-the-Art equipment.

WWES was an incredible school for my son. He was in the gifted program and had incredible teachers that really challenged him from the start of the year. They didn't just give him busy work, they gave him more in depth work on various subjects of interest for him. This school has a small town feeling in a big city. I loved WWES and would highly recommend it to anyone!

All 3 of my boys are going to this school, it is a delight to know that they are going to a safe place and that they are well taken care of while they are in school. One word for all Teachers and Principal please keep up this great job. Thank You all!

A nurturing, sweet-natured, community-oriented school with almost zero teaching turnover and an inspiring commitment to kids. Teachers like Donald Miles, Kawanna Ansell, Kelly Linkous and the fifth-grade team are the match of any in Virginia. I loved having my daughter here. I'll miss visiting.

I went to Windsor Woods from kindergarten to fifth grade. I am now a senior at Virginia Wesleyan college. I am going to graduate with honors, and I feel that the wonderful base I received at Windsor Woods helped me immensely in my educational carreer. I enjoyed learning, and wanted to absorb all I could. I hope some of the faculty is the same, they were divine!

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.
