Franconia Elementary School

This school was so boring. But once I graduated I low-key felt sad not being here. Plus, most of the teachers are so sweet.

We truly love this school. The teachers are incredibly caring, attentive, and supportive. You can truly feel how much they care about the children and their growth. The environment is warm and welcoming, making both kids and parents feel comfortable and supported. Sadly, we had to move from the area, but we are very grateful we were part of this wonderful community.

My son attended this school for a month and was in one of the enhanced autism classrooms. They didn’t even have a teacher available for the first day so we got stuck with an older retired substitute teacher who had never taught children that young. Needless to say they were unprepared. I pulled my son from this school a month into the school year because he came out to me with fingernail scratches on his arm to which the teacher nor the two aides could tell me what happened. I never got the opportunity to speak to the teachers and they didn’t respond to any emails. The staff was not empathetic and tried to protect the teacher and the aides. He is nonverbal and unable to tell me what happened and they completely took advantage of that! We sadly moved to Fairfax county for the supposedly “great schools” but I experience none of this greatness. I would not recommend if your child is special needs at all.

This is a great school filled with Christian values, teachers that genuinely love the children and an administration filled with wisdom coupled with a freshness of approach tailored to each child.
