I have had two kids attend Centreville Elementary School from kindergarten through sixth grade, and our experience has been nothing short of amazing. The faculty, teachers, and support staff have been incredible every step of the way. My daughter, currently in sixth grade, loves her school so much that she's sad when each school year ends, and she bonds deeply with her teachers, who make her feel supported, especially since she struggles with change. When my son attended, he struggled with undiagnosed ADHD, and his third-grade teacher played a pivotal role in helping us recognize his needs without overstepping boundaries. Thanks to their guidance, he received the support he needed and is now thriving in middle school as a straight-A student. Centreville’s motto, "CES is the best," truly resonates with our experience. I am so proud of the caring, nurturing environment that has helped shape my children into the wonderful individuals they are today. Principal Mr. Douds leads the school with dedication and heart. I wholeheartedly give Centreville Elementary School five stars! However, I can’t give five stars for safety—not because of the school itself, but because of broader Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS) issues. This is something I continue to fight for with the school board, as ensuring our kids’ safety should always be a priority. Despite this, the school does its best with what it can control, and I remain grateful for the support and education my children have received.

Look, it’s an okay school, but some of the teachers… I’ve had TERRIBLE experiences with particularly math teachers. Here’s the thing, I genuinely enjoy math, but the terrible teachers I’ve had have made it living hell. Complete disregard for students when they struggle-for example. Student asks a question because they’re confused->teacher decides that the student is clearly stupid and cannot be helped, often responding along the lines of “well, just understand it then.” Not how it works guys. Many offer extra time outside of school for help, but most of them are just genuinely unhelpful. THIS IS NOT JUST ME. I know a plethora of students who have voiced this opinion, and it’s getting ridiculous. Especially because a couple of these teachers are apparently well liked and respected by other staff, yet all of the students agree that they are not good teachers. Weird, huh. Anyway, I promise I’m not trying to bash the school, it’s a pretty okay school otherwise, but some of the teachers are just not high quality.

Liberty Middle School is a welcoming and supportive environment where students are encouraged to grow both academically and personally. The teachers are dedicated, caring, and always willing to help students succeed. The school offers a variety of activities and programs that help students discover their interests and build confidence. The campus feels safe, organized, and focused on learning. Overall, Liberty Middle School does an excellent job preparing students for high school and beyond.
