The principle Consolla is a witch. She trespassed my son for knocking on the door to use the bathroom after school hours. Avoid this school at all costs.

We are a family who has seen the best of both worlds, moving from Waynewood to Stratford Landing Elementary, and we couldn't be happier with our decision. While we absolutely loved our time at Waynewood, and it is a fantastic school, there's a unique and special energy at Stratford Landing that has made us feel so at home. From the moment we joined, we were struck by the incredibly welcoming and engaged community. The families here, along with a truly dedicated PTA, create a collaborative spirit that goes far beyond school hours, making it feel less like a school and more like a second home.The staff at Stratford Landing are nothing short of exceptional. The teachers and administrators are not just educators but true partners in our children's growth, providing a loving and supportive environment where they can thrive. The academic program is rigorous and well-rounded, and our kids are excited to go to school every day. The communication from the school is outstanding, and we always feel in the loop and confident that our children are in the best hands. For any family coming from a great school like Waynewood, rest assured that Stratford Landing Elementary has all the academic rigor you expect, but with a heart and community spirit that truly sets it apart.

The Principals and Leading Staff are incredibly respectful, sensitive, responsive and focused. Be their example the entire school has established a culture of learning and respect.This school has a unique diversity of income, ethnicity, languages which the school embraces and uses as a strength. The parents and families who can contribute or volunteer often do, and it benefits everyone.The building is in excellent condition on a quiet Mt Vernon street. In 2021-22 the school was completely renovated and expanded thanks to a bond which Fairfax county voters supported.

A Fort Hunt gem. What a fantastic school in a safe, charming area. Between living in Hollin Hall and attending this school, there isn’t a much better place for a kid to grow up so close to the city. I’ve heard nothing but good things about Waynewood, and I’m proud it’s a part of the community.
