Our experiences with Cooper Middle School were very good. The newly renovated facilities are outstanding. The quality of the teachers was very good. The "competitive" academic clubs -- Science Olympiad, QuizBowl, and Model UN -- were top-notch. The AAP program is filled with kids who, for the most part, are extremely intelligent and driven. Great band program too. Only complaint would be the quality of the after-school activities is spotty. If your child is academically motivated, this should be an excellent public school for them.

If your kid is academically motivated, LHS provides a challenging environment that should set them up well for college. My kid found the AP/DE offerings to be very challenging, and the sheer volume of AP/DE offerings is impressive. Generally very good teachers. Very nice, clean facilities, and my kid always felt safe. Outstanding band program. Lots of clubs, although some clubs are good while others are more for college app padding. The quality of the sports programs varies by coach and team, but earning a varsity letter at LHS is no small feat.Overall, compared to other public high schools we're familiar with, LHS is absolutely at the top of the heap, and we had no regrets sending our kid there.

Colvin Run Elementary is truly one of the best schools in Virginia. The principal, Mr. Ken Junge, along with the dedicated teachers, staff, PTO, and the broader community, create an exceptional environment for students. Mr. Junge’s passion, vision, and relentless attention to detail shine through in everything he does, and he has fostered a culture of care, excellence, and commitment across the school. Parents are very active and engaged, which makes the PTO especially strong, offering excellent after-school programs and year-round activities that enrich the school experience and make it fun!
