Grand Tudor living room/salon, dining room with a huge table that easily seats 12 (what a conference room!) and intimate stone "snug" for cocktails. 3 gas fireplaces, and 4 electric. Whole house extra large Generac generator that comes on automatically at the first sign of power outage and is powerful enough to keep the AC running at full capacity even in 100+ degree days in August. Fabulous 5-6 bedrooms and 4.5 baths; bonus media room or office that doubles as a bedroom. Carriage house with its own new mini-split heating and A/C over heated garage has one of the bedrooms and a full bath and kitchen, an electric fireplace and its own washer dryer, all in a 3/4 acre remote controlled electric-gated sanctuary. King bed Master suite with room-sized walk-in closet with built-ins, jetted tub, separate shower, private balcony and washer dryer set. Third washer dryer set in basement.

1/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageOverall being at this school has been a terrible experience. Threats of violence, racial comments and jokes, and a lack of any real challenge for my student. I am looking to transfer my student at the end of the year. The bus ride is almost 45 minutes each direction. I will be continuing my search for a house in a better school district throughout the coming months.Parent Review5y ago - L.F.

3/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy stepson attends Magruder and he has really benefited from his years at this school. He has received a lot of individual attention and seems to be progressing at or above grade level. I would recommend this school to a family looking for a good elementary school.Other Review10y ago - Heritage High School

4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageHorrible school, I go to heritage and a student had taken photos up my skirt and the school was not following legal requirements. They told me they would tell that student to walk a different way than the path to my classes but failed to do so for 2 days with me repeatedly going back when the school knew he wasn't allowed within 100 feet of me. Instead of taking the kid out of my class the consular was trying to convince ME to leave that class and switch out instead. This isn't the only instance where the school failed to protect me as a student when I was being harassed by a student at a school event the head of security shrugged his shoulders and said "It wasn't during school so i cant do anything about it." even though I had gone to them before about that student harassing me daily. This school will not protect your students please do not send your children here.Student Review2mo ago - John Marshall Early Childhood Center
- PK-K

N/AGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageUnfortunately, I can not specify any issues in my child's class, as I am not allowed to know what happens there. It could not be more apparent that I inconvience the teachers by making contact with them, even by note. If my child gets in trouble, I only know by a color chart. Phone calls are ignored. You do get conferences around halfway through the quarter, where you're told your child has exceeded expectations, only to receive a report card filled with areas they're underperforming in (every single one AN EXACT SAME AREA you were told they were exceeding in) weeks later. Special activities? Don't worry; you'll find out THE NIGHT BEFORE (approx. 70% of all notices are sent home less than 24 hours before). I am an involved parent, but not a helicopter parent. Education is a priority to me. I have no idea beyond the school syllabus as to what my child is doing.The teacher and the aide give conflicting information often. If my child is struggling, tell me how so I can help. If my child is misbehaving, tell me what she did so I can do something. If you just need free babysitting, this is the school for you. I'd withdraw my child, but she'd be heartbroken not to go to school.Parent Review10y ago
