3/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThe behavior in this school is out of control. I believe teachers and admin are doing everything they can to make the a school positive place, but something is not working. Very little learning is happening in my child's classes (which is evidenced in the school's most recent test scores) - lots of chaos and disruption. It's sad for all of the students who want to learn.Parent Review3y ago - Burnley-Moran Elementary School

8/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThere are so many things that this school does that is not measured in evaluation. They meaning the teachers and staff see the bright side of all students. They work so hard at keeping children engaged and emotionally healthy. What a gift the teachers are for the children in this school. There is no doubt that teachers should rule the worldOther Review3y ago - Charlottesville High School

3/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI attended this school a few years ago and it was AMAZING! All of the teachers care about their students, and the teaching techniques are unique and easy to learn. I was so prepared for middle school and knew almost everything when I entered the 8th grade. The after school program is incredible as well, it gives you a chance to explore something you maybe thought you had to interest in, and it is very organized (which I liked) and really helped shape me. I transferred to Fairfax County and it is no where as good as this school. I really wish I could go back and attend this school again. :)Other Review13y ago
