Muy mal Escuela mis hijas están pasando por un proceso muy difícil y no me han querido ayudar y no hay seguridad en esta escuela

The energy that the school has throughout the day is not great, the principals are so mean they make learning not fun and they ruined my middle school years. Most of the teachers are fine not really any complaints there but really just the principals. I went in to middle school thinking I would have more freedom from what I had in elementary school but no, the first month of 7th and 8th grade we had to sit with our class and couldn’t turn around and face the table next to you. Matter of fact teachers had to walk us down like little kids and then pick us up when we were done eating to then take us back to class. This school was not safe there were a bunch of drugs and at one point we had a shooting threat again not safe environment and a place where I did not want to be also lots of fights happening in bathrooms when teachers don’t know this school needs more security and better principals until those two things are changed I don’t recommend this school. Also forgot to add if you ask teachers they would most likely say they need to get rid of the principals because they do not make the place safe and happy. 1/5 stars in the place do not recommend for new people moving to Fairfax.

My daugther just completed 6th grade at Daniel's Run Elementary. She was there for her entire Elementary School education and I can honestly say that Daniel's Run has gone downhill over the past 5 years since the new principal arrived.Earlier on it seemed like the school was more devoted to engaging the kids' curiosity and helping them grow into upstanding citizens. The new principal instead seems to be focused on SOL scores and does nothing to keep the school safe or follow the guidelines on bullying. My daughter has been bullied all of this year by 3 6th grade boys and the most the school would do is talk to the boys and ask them to stop. There was no punishment, the parents were not talked to as far as I am aware, and there was no interaction even when the ringleader beat up a 5th grade boy. Apparently, the goal is to be able to keep their attendence numbers up and by expelling these kids, that would lower their numbers. I am not the only one that has had issues with the principal. If a kid is having trouble learning at the school, he provides no assistance so many parents are pulling their kids out to move them to private schools, which is another way they are keeping their SOL scores up.
