GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

New to the area and Va. First conversation with our 5th grade teacher she told my son and I they didnt teach History in 5th grade anywhere in VA because the state test was Science. She continued to tell us the focus is science because thats what they are tested on. Also, the book the class will be working with this year is a 4th grade level book (I'll keep the title to myself) . The SAME book my son studied in Language Arts in 4th. She also added she only reads it to the class, the kids are not required to read it. To say the least we are VERY disappointed in this school and the LOW LOW LOW academic expectations and offerings.
