Uniontown

Due to being a part of a military family and having to move around frequently, I have worked in several schools, and I can honestly say this is one of the best schools I have ever worked at. There is a strong sense of community, students are excited to come to school and have built positive relationships with teachers. If my students were still school-aged, I would definitely bring them to school with me.

this school stinks they text me at 12am once BUZZ OFF

I have a kindergartner at this school and so far am very impressed with how they handle kids with medical issues. My daughter has a variety of medical concerns, the biggest being she has a severe food allergy. Of course sending a 5 year old into a school with something like this is very nerve wracking. However, the school has many precautions in place and lots of well trained staff. In the classroom, my daughter is thriving. She has become very social, confident, and truly enjoys going to school. You can see how involved her teachers are and that they really care about their students. She has learned so much and we are very impressed with her progress. I think what I like most is how involved all the staff are. I mean, when I drop my daughter off to school there are many mornings where the principal is out in the line helping kids get out of their cars and into the school building. Most of the teachers seem to know my child's name and take time to interact with her in positive ways. I feel very lucky to have my child attend such a great school with quality educators!

I have had two kids attend Centreville Elementary School from kindergarten through sixth grade, and our experience has been nothing short of amazing. The faculty, teachers, and support staff have been incredible every step of the way. My daughter, currently in sixth grade, loves her school so much that she's sad when each school year ends, and she bonds deeply with her teachers, who make her feel supported, especially since she struggles with change. When my son attended, he struggled with undiagnosed ADHD, and his third-grade teacher played a pivotal role in helping us recognize his needs without overstepping boundaries. Thanks to their guidance, he received the support he needed and is now thriving in middle school as a straight-A student. Centreville’s motto, "CES is the best," truly resonates with our experience. I am so proud of the caring, nurturing environment that has helped shape my children into the wonderful individuals they are today. Principal Mr. Douds leads the school with dedication and heart. I wholeheartedly give Centreville Elementary School five stars! However, I can’t give five stars for safety—not because of the school itself, but because of broader Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS) issues. This is something I continue to fight for with the school board, as ensuring our kids’ safety should always be a priority. Despite this, the school does its best with what it can control, and I remain grateful for the support and education my children have received.

I loved this school and the teachers were great! It was a lot of fun and I never really saw any serious bullying

Union Mill is an FCPS gem. Tight-knit community, caring staff, great school spirit. All of our kids have thrived here.
