My son flourished at this school. We moved from Northern Virginia where schools are very competitive. I was extremely impressed with the forward thinking of the teachers and interactive use of classrooms and the outdoors as well as often cross-teaching amongst subjects to help the children put skills to use. Science and Math classes are often integrated as well as History and English classes. My son made some amazing friends and adored all of his teachers. The principal is also very impressive and her commitment to the kids and the school is unparalleled. Very happy my son was fortunate enough to attend Crozet Elementary.

school is cool and stuff. but it has great food so im happy

As a grandparent and parent of two Western Albemarle alumni, I am still a big fan! Leadership starts at the top - the principal and athletic director/staff are fully present at all events. The extra-curricular events are well-supervised, planned, and attended. Students are engaged, with curious eye contact, good manners, and a healthy balance of wanting to have fun. If political struggles exist at 'the central office,' it is not adversely impacting superior programs for adolescent development. The achievement rates come as no surprise - everyone works to reach that goal. As a (now retired) real estate broker, I understand why families are drawn to this part of the district. Western remains the best school, in my opinion. Why? There is a vital commitment to students, parents, and the Western Albemarle Community. Watching the next generations emerge prepared for new and provincial life challenges gives me hope.
