"Great to walk around the block, and if you need a longer walk, the nearby park offers some good paths to walk around. The park gets used a lot, so on some weekends in the summer, there may be large groups who've rented the cabanas, if your dog is ok with that, no problems, if your dog is skittish around many people, then choose different times. Trash bags, and doggie bags available at the park."

5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageSurprised with how many good reviews this school has, the staff is pretty much don't care for special needs children and don't care to hire the right staff to do so. This is the kind of school you'd wanna keep your child away from due to the gossip that they hear from the teachers. Its like everyone is for themselves here and not a team working together.Other Review8mo ago - Centerville Elementary

8/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageTallwood is a great school. Both my boys loved it. Teachers wonderful and they take care of ALL students. Tallwood has “0” tolerance for bullying. The teachers build a bond with the students and as a parent when I leave my boys in the care of the school, I expect my boys to be able to feel safe, respected, and learning their work. And all of that applies with Tallwood.Parent Review2y ago - Atlantic Shores Christian School

N/AGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageAtlantic Shores used to be a really good school. Within the past year, there has been a huge turnover in teaching staff. One teacher assigned to teach math admitted math was not her strong suit. There is no set curriculum especially where math is concerned. The homework is all over the place with no foundation to build upon. Class size is the same as in public school, with 20 or more kids per class. The room assignments are also biased. All advanced or those close to being advanced are placed in one class while those that are not are in another. When my child or others asked for help, they were constantly being told they should already know it. So they were left to figure it out. The school says that bullying is not tolerated. Our child had a melt down and the teacher began to imitate our child. Our child asked the teacher to stop to which the teacher replied "that's how you're acting so I'm going to act just like you." This was condoned by the principal to which she stated " well, yes, that's what some of the teachers do to show the child how they are acting." Of course it just made the situation worse.We were also told, because our child had been diagnosed with certain mental illnesses (none of which prevented her from learning and achieving principals honor roll every year), maybe she would be better off in a school with kids just like her. This coming from a private christian school! All I can say is Atlantic Shores has been a lesson learned.Parent Review7y ago - Kempsville Academy / Barefoot Kids

She loves going to school and learning. Dispute the negative reviews, this is no doubt a school of Christian disciplines.Parent Review2y ago - Childtime
