Not recommended unless you are in the magnet program, that’s all they care about. We swapped to Kellam and love it!!!

This is my son’s second year at the school and it has been nothing but terrible since the minute he walked in that door. My son is special needs, in a special ED classroom and gets bullied daily. I don’t even know how many times I have been over to that school and called meetings to try and get him help. The teachers/counselors/vice principal and principal RARELY respond to my emails and phone calls. Their solution: tell my son to avoid the bullies?! So we’re just going to ignore that?? They only consider it bullying if your child doesn’t interact with the bully—INCLUDING telling the bully to “leave them alone.” They said “if the child interacts with the bully, then they don’t consider it bullying.”I’m completely dumbfounded in their responses and “solutions” to bullying. The bullying is off the charts and nothing is done, point blank. The staff seriously needs to do better!

I am writing to express my deep concerns regarding the conduct and professionalism of the staff at Birdneck Elementary School in Virginia Beach. Based on my experience, this has been the most troubling school environment I’ve encountered, particularly in the context of how they handle family dynamics and parental rights.It is highly inappropriate for school staff to involve themselves in custody matters—especially when one parent is employed by the school, giving them undue influence. This has led to the other parent being effectively shut out from building any relationship with teachers or administrators.There have also been alarming breaches of protocol, including allowing unauthorized individuals to pick up children without proper parental consent, simply because it was not the scheduled week for the other custodial parent. Such actions not only violate trust but raise serious safety concerns.Additionally, I am extremely concerned about allegations that teachers have allowed students to stay in their private homes while a parent was out of town, without notifying or involving the other legal guardian. This behavior is unacceptable and lacks the transparency and professionalism expected in any educational environment.Efforts to obtain information or clarification are often met with resistance, delays, or being placed on hold for excessive periods, apparently to avoid addressing legitimate concerns. The sign-out logs are not made accessible, and communication from staff is evasive and dismissive.The teachers I’ve interacted with have not shown the empathy or engagement that parents should reasonably expect when entrusting their children to a school’s care.I urge the appropriate school authorities, including the Virginia Beach City Public Schools administration, to investigate these matters seriously and implement necessary changes to ensure all families are treated with fairness, transparency,
