I just love every single thing about this school!! I have learned so much going here and have met so many people with different insights but everyone supports each other here. Would recommend, parents!

I would give this school zero stars if it were possible. It was awful. In fact, awful is an understatement. The staff, who are supposed to be the main authority in the school, do not do anything to prevent bullying, hate crimes, or any other misconduct. The environment is a special type of inferno that, even after I was done with my middle school years, I still cannot put into words. The students themselves are also a major problem. They can get away with bullying and racism, which goes to show how unprofessional and bad the staff is in their job. Some teachers also target certain students, whether it's because they do not speak English or they are an ethnic minority. I have been a victim of bullying and have been treated differently by the dean of my grade. At one point, the bullying almost made me take my own life. I had tried to reach out to counselors, but they showed little effort in actually apprehending the perpetrators. My friend has been targeted by an EL teacher, who is supposed to help her learn English, was lowering her grades due to her race. Also, there seems to be this hierarchy among students where some students are full of themselves and are known as "the popular kids". When I was in 7th grade, I heard of a drug dealing that was going on amongst 8th graders. It seems to me that the staff is scared of the students. In conclusion, I would like to say that please, please, please do not go here or try to switch to another middle school in the Loudoun County region.

Last year, our eldest daughter, then in 4th grade, experienced multiple incidents of bullying. Despite bringing these issues to the school’s attention, we were met with what appeared to be inaction. However, we remained persistent—sending numerous emails and making repeated phone calls—until appropriate disciplinary measures were finally taken. Ultimately, the student responsible was suspended from both school and bus transportation.Unfortunately, it is deeply concerning that only three days into the new school year, we are facing a similar situation—this time involving our younger daughter, who is in Kindergarten. On the same day, she was slapped twice by another student. No one from the school contacted us about the incident, which is unacceptable.It is evident that there is a significant lack of adequate supervision, likely due to understaffing and overcrowding. This creates an unsafe environment for all students.We have already brought this matter to the principal’s attention and are currently awaiting a response. Should the school fail to address this issue appropriately and in a timely manner, we will escalate it by filing a formal complaint with both the school administration and the school board. Legal action will follow if necessary.We are fully prepared to pursue every available legal avenue to ensure the safety and well-being of our children and to hold accountable those who are responsible for protecting them. Student safety is not negotiable.
