My daughter started going to Fairfield this year. She started 5th grade there coming from a different school. The first five months of the school year she had to worry about bullying. Four different times I had to go up to the school. My family is a minority here at Fairfield Court. The principal told me I quote " The kids here don't understand. They hear their parents say it. Its the area that we live in." I don't care if its the area that we live in, my daughter was always told not to see color. Our skin may be white and they may be black but we all bleed red. As a parent I can say that I would not want my child to go to this school, but I can say that about many Richmond Public Schools.

Love this school. All kid have learned about new skills the love the teachers make it easier and better for these kids nowadays

Armstrong High School is full of caring teachers and students who are willing and want to learn, unfortunately, there are always a few students, who make it bad, for the school as a whole. What would really make the school better, is to just put the kids who are disrespectful, violent and ignorant beyond measure out! Stop tolerating their foolishness, so the teachers can teach, and the students can learn. It is time to make the students and parents more accountable, and stop putting the total blame on teachers. As a parent, I have been inside Armstrong and seen teachers go the extra mile, with their time, patience and their money, to help the students. Armstrong isn't a perfect school, but it has the potential to be a great school, with the right support from the parents, students and the community.
