This school isn't horrible but it's a far stretch from great. I've been here for a few years and not every teacher is good or enthusiastic about their job (there's actually quite a lot that aren't, unfortunately). Fights happen every now and then, and many students do not respect for each other so the social atmosphere is pretty toxic. Counselors also struggle to reply to emails if at all regardless of how important the matter is (it has caused me to miss some deadlines), and a lot of teachers don't really care if students do well or not since they place a heavier emphasis on it being the student's responsibility- making the classroom environment feel pretty unsupportive. Also, while it's not often, teachers here can be surprisingly petty too and take on a less professional demeanor at times. As for the workload, it can be tedious but it's usually not overwhelming in numbers. However, on some days, you can have multiple tests on the same day which makes things pretty stressful because it assumes students are actually loaded with free time outside of school to study for all of them, which isn't the case for many. The curriculum can also move very slow and it's not good for students way ahead academically. Overall, Annandale High school is quite below average in many ways.

Wonderful school. Very tight-knit community. Great administration when I worked there...Mrs. Jackson-Muir, Dr. Beaty, and Dr. Fallen.

As an 8th grader I would not recconmend Poe middle school. This school some teachers are good but there are some teachers that are biased and no matter what will try to fail you. Students at this school don't care about their learning and fight in the hallways. There are some incidents where there was drug-related cases. In my opinion, do not send your kids to this school. Instead send them to Glasgow or Luther Jackson. The students are way better there and the proficiency rates are way higher.
