We love Ferrum Elementary, located steps away from the Blue Ridge Institue and Ferrum College. A truly unique location in an area where family values reign and teachers and school staff really care about the students. We're very proud to be part of Ferrum Elementary School.

This institution fails to meet acceptable academic, operational, and ethical standards, rendering it an unsafe environment for student development. Physically, the building suffers from unaddressed health liabilities like visible mold, and roaches and bugs while the cafeteria consistently serves unpalatable, flavorless meals. More critically, the internal culture lacks professionalism and equity; administrators and faculty are routinely dismissive, with certain teachers actively engaging in the intimidation and bullying of students while showing blatant favoritism to others. Furthermore, a severe lack of oversight has fostered an environment of covert, non-transparent interactions between certain staff members and students, raising significant safety concerns that leadership consistently fails to address.

Hi, my name is Ben and I no longer attend this school because I was bullied. So thank you to the person that posted that bullying is a problem at this school. I was called names and pushed numerous times. I started having anxiety and became depressed. I reported the bullying and I was moved from my classes while the bullying remained. We were told this is school policy. This only made the problems worse and I started to want out of life, any way possible. I'm glad I have good parents because they homeschooling me for awhile then moved so I could go to a different school. I am so happy now at my new school and by the way a lot of kids there were bullied it was not just me.
