Agnor-Hurt is a fantastic, loving school and I am so glad we chose to send our children here. We were nervous because of the very low rating here, and toured all the private schools in the area before enrolling. But touring Agnor Hurt and talking to neighbors who are so happy there convinced us to give it a try- and I'm so glad we did!! Our twin kindergartners have received a great education in a very loving, non-competitive environment. They have a rich curriculum and give the children plenty of time to move, dance, play, create, and participate in hands on learning. After coming from a private preschool that my kids were never excited about, I have loved watching them flourish here. They have a love of learning that they didn't have last year, and a great deal more self confidence. They proudly wear their Agnor-Hurt t-shirts as often as possible! The school also has an excellent gifted and talented teacher/program, and plenty of opportunity to get involved as a parent. Please don't let the low test scores scare you off - because you'll be missing out on a wonderful experience.

Great teachers. Great environment for learning. Everyone cares! Cannot ask for anything better.

The children are out of control. The school is not safe for students or safe. The principal cares more about her image than about helping the school.

As other parents noted, I'm disappointed to see Greenbrier's low Great Schools rating. It's a fantastic school with caring, supportive educators. Due to my husband's job, we were able to request admission to any Charlottesville City School. Greenbrier has such a good reputation in town that it was an easy decision even though it means 20-25 minute drive one-way to get the kids to school. Both my Kindergartener and 2nd grader have had excellent experiences.
