We are a military family. Our third grader has always been a straight 'A' student, so I did quite a bit of research on schools in the area before we selected Richmond. There website was thorough and informative. The principal made herself available to accommodate us when we were coming to town and

Her teacher, Ms. Evans is awesome! I could not have prayed for anyone better. She genuinely cares, listens and helps with any concerns. Her passion is evidenced through her work.

I can't say enough good about this school. It starts with the leadership; the principal is very available and responsive to parents, and she knows the children well. My child has some special education needs and came from a private school so she was used to a different curriculum, and a smaller classroom.

We never felt put down, singled out, or pressured due to her special needs. 7 staff members (including the principal) attended her IEP planning meeting. The Resource Team was so caring and effective. Her success was their goal, and they met it! My daughter went from barely pulling through, to rating in almost advanced overall. I have high standards, and this school actually exceeded them. Amazing! Read less
