Samuel W. Tucker Elementary School

We had to leave. The leadership was so poor from K-5, so I only hope things are better under the new principal. My child was bullied (physically and verbally) all years (except during Covid) with no effective response. Learning became a bore based on what leadership pushes the teachers to teach. The teachers were amazing but their hands are tied on how much they can do. There were no extracurriculars at all and my child was bored. Any activities that were provided, not consistently, are not fun anyway if you are bullied and don’t feel connected.

At this school my child thrived! He was previously going to a private catholic school which he hated. After 3 years of that, I decided to put him in Bush Hill and he loved it. He is now going to middle school and he is very advanced and engaged thanks to his elementary school.Bush Hill is a great school!

The staff and administrators at Clermont play an essential role in fostering a strong and vibrant community. Their dedication and hard work make this school truly exceptional, consistently creating an environment where both students and staff can thrive. Their commitment to excellence and collaboration ensures that Clermont remains a place of growth, support, and opportunity for everyone involved. We are truly blessed to have such a great school in Alexandria!

All four of my kids have gone to Rose Hill. Love the Principle, Teachers, and Staff. Bilingual immersion program for Spanish avail classrooms K-6.

All three of my kids have loved Burgundy. I currently have two enrolled and one that graduated last year and is in High School now. From the moment you step onto the campus, you can feel the warmth, intention, and authenticity that make this school stand out. The teachers are not only highly skilled but genuinely invested in each child’s growth—academically, socially, and emotionally. They take time to understand every student as an individual, creating an environment where kids feel seen, supported, and encouraged to explore their interests. This carries with them as they attend high school and college.The school’s hands-on, experiential learning approach is a game changer. Students don’t just memorize facts—they engage with the world around them, think critically, and develop a real love of learning. The campus itself is beautiful and thoughtfully maintained, offering plenty of outdoor space that’s actually integrated into the curriculum.Communication with families is excellent, and the sense of community is one of the strongest I’ve experienced. Parents, teachers, and staff truly work together, and it shows in the confidence and joy you see in the students.If you’re looking for a school that combines strong academics, compassionate educators, and a nurturing environment, Burgundy Country Day School deserves to be at the top of your list. Highly recommend!
