It's an okay school. The principals aren't the best, but atleast they care about the students. But just a few teachers make this school awesome, including the orchestra teacher.


Posted July 23, 2012

I LOVE THIS SCHOOL :D Great music department. And some great teachers. Principals are iffy.


Posted March 20, 2009

The classes are long, you can't have backpacks, lockers are small...this is one of the worst schools i have ever been to. I am an army brat and i have been to a lot of schools around the country and overseas...out of all of them this is by far the worst of them.

It's okay, it should have better activities though. We should have a swim team. Lunch should be better too. Could have a lot of improvments done. Needs longer awesome classes like Orchestra, and sometimes gym.

This school is a great learning enviroment with alot of history in it(the building itself is over 75 years old and is in the center of old town Warrenton). Though, this school has alot to be desired such as new p.e. equipment and also needs to be renevated in some areas of the building. All in all its an OK school.

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.
