Thompsons Purchase

From a parent’s perspective, I want to share our experience in a calm and balanced way. My children are very bright and have generally done well in school, so it was concerning to learn that my daughter was going through a brief period of difficulty academically and emotionally.During that time, I had expected more proactive communication from the teacher so that we could address the situation early. Instead, we did not receive timely feedback about her struggles. When my husband and I reached out to better understand what was happening and how we could support her at home, we felt that our concerns were not fully engaged with, and it was difficult to establish a collaborative dialogue.We also had a challenging experience with the IEP team. From our perspective, the process did not feel as collaborative as we had hoped. We expected a partnership approach where parents and school staff work closely together to support the child’s needs, but instead we often felt that our input was not fully incorporated into the discussion.Overall, while we recognize that many educators are doing their best and appreciate the effort that goes into supporting students, our experience left us hoping for a more open and cooperative approach between parents and the school, particularly when addressing student challenges.

They lack diversity and integrity. Every review that isn’t appealing is always deleted. It’s all wrong.

After two years at this school, I am updating my review to acknowledge the positive experience this has been. My child has grown in social-emotional development; learning the expectations of the classroom; excelling at academics; and connecting with teachers and fellow classmates. The school has also evaluated my child well and the curriculum and delivery of instruction match the needs and present levels of performance. I feel good about my child going here.

Bellows Spring has the most disorganized and ineffective special education program. It lacks structure, adequate staffing and resources to implement IEPs. If you have a special needs child with an IEP, I would not recommend Bellows Spring.

Deep Run Elementary school is a really new and beautiful school!

We have two children at this school and we are very happy with it. There are lot of siblings attending this school which proves the trust of the parents.The teachers are all Montessori trained and have a passion for the Montessori education, when we toured the school, the calm/quiet, clean and beautifully set up environment was a big point for us, the classrooms are beautifully set up with plenty of material for the students. We were not looking for the traditionally loud and over stimulating preschool type and Love of Learning had what we were looking for, the peaceful, clean, what tells like home type of school. Our oldest is now attending elementary there and we plan to continue to Middle school in this school as long as we're still in the area.The school is family run and they take their responsibilty towards their community of parents very seriously. I would highly recommend this school
