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.

My daughter game to Greer in 4th grade this year from a small private school, and Greer has been absolutely amazing for her. Her teacher has been so kind and my daughter has been excited to go to school each day (this was not the case at private school). She even says she misses school on the weekends. She has been very interested in everything they have been learning this year. The diversity has been the most amazing part-- her friend group includes kids from all over the world. She has gained a broader perspective of the world and made wonderful friends from very different backgrounds. The ratings on greatschools really don't reflect how wonderful Greer is.

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.

Read all of the other one star reviews of this place. I couldn’t agree more. In all my years here, I didn’t learn a single thing. All of the clubs are useless, along with the teachers. There is no diversity and there is a clear divide between the minority kids and the white Americans. The school is very cliquey and hard to find friends as it is very small. So many classmates throughout high school left to go to public school because of how much they hated it here. Do your research and don’t send your kid here. It is a waste of time and money!
