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.

I have had 4 children attend this school and it has consistently been an amazing experience. Some teachers are better than others which is true of any school but the leadership is top notch.
