The school is not run like a military academy like some would believe. The faculty is great (some). I would be careful not to have tp as my child's teach. Test scores does not make a welcoming faculty or administration. Blue ribbon or not I would think if my child had to go here for the first years

The 'test scores' do not lie - they are the result of quality education. I've been impressed with the quality of the education my children receive.

It is apparent the children s success is a high priority for the faculty. Great Job, Stockwell. Read less

I read all the reviews and I am sure I know why 1) some of you are confused about the reviews & 2) why some of you wrote those reviews. 1st of all, if you had a great teacher, like Mrs. Green, then you had a good experience. Other teachers do not communicate with parents at all. The review that said

We live in the Richmond Cove area and are in the Military. This school is by far one of the best schools our children could attend. Our child has excelled in all subjects and has loved each teacher like a family member. The teachers and staff keep parents updated and involved in school activites.

Children mimic behavior they see at home and some of the children are complete and total snobs. They tease about parental incomes, the type of cars driven and the quality of the uniforms, belts & shoes. Our school is trying so hard to grow well rounded childern, if the parnets guilty of looking down their nose could see how they are opening the door for hate...well then it would perfect! Read less

Stockwell is the best public school for the area. Unfortunaley they do add undo pressure on the kids and parents regarding the uniform rules. Stockwell staff can lose sight of their priorities sometimes. The teachers have a lot of pressure on themselves too. I do think there needs to be more parent

Stockwell is a tough school. I would rather my son go to the Haughton schools. It is hard to get him to go to school. There is more to it than being a Blue Ribbon school. Let them be kids.
