Newtown

My son absolutely loves Kindergarten at Waddell. He is excited to go to school everyday. He is Mr. Participation, loves to show off his smarts for his teachers, and often comes home boasting little prizes that he got for being so good. Honestly, it's like they are wizards or sorceresses over there. The teachers know exactly what to do and say to keep my little guy interested.

The principal is enthusiastic and knows each child. The teachers are dedicated, hard-working, and kind. We love this place, and have 1 child who went K-5 there and another still attending. Cafeteria lunch is even edible! Some will tell you that you might prefer city schools, but don't be fooled into paying tuition to city schools when you have this top-flight option in the county. Beautiful, remodeled facility that looks modern, open, and inviting. Half of the rooms have gorgeous views of the Blue Ridge Mountains.
