"We’ve enjoyed owning a home here. It’s a very safe community. Lots of families walk their dogs, exercise, and ride bikes every day. It’s a joyful and friendly neighborhood to live in. We’re going to miss living here. "

"Driving to peninsula or Norfolk/VB requires the use of a tunnel or a bridge at the minimum, so commutes tend to be a bit longer because of that. Otherwise, the commute is pretty much the same as anywhere else due to traffic snares throughout Hampton Roads."

"This is a fantastic, family friendly area! The schools are good and the streets are safe. It’s the kind of place where children can ride their bikes and people hang Christmas lights. You know your neighbors and people wave as their walking down the street, I love living here!"

6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis school is dangerous. Children with behavior problems are not dealt with and left in classrooms to throw tables and chairs. Students who are well behaved are ignored while teachers are dealing with violence and extreme disobedience. One poorly behaved child can keep an entire class from a resource because they refuse to get out of their seat. When a teacher gets help from admin for the poor behavior, they're walked around the school and returned back to the classroom with a toy showing everyone else in the classroom that poor behavior gets you fun time walking the halls and your favorite squishy or bubbles! Students who dominate their classroom assaulting the teacher/students (even a child strangling a teacher with a lanyard!) can do the bare minimum of expectations and they're celebrated for it just enforcing that poor performance is the way to win at WBP. If you want your child to go to a school where they're in extreme danger of a head injury from a flying chair, this is your school. If you want your child to actually learn something where they're not in constant danger, look elsewhere. I'm leaving my home of 15 years just to get away from this school.Parent Review1mo ago11 Reviews - Aldersgate Umc Kinder Prep
