Posted by a parent on 9/26/2023We have been extremely impressed and satisfied with MCES. Even from our first tour, the staff and faculty are truly happy to be there and go out of their way for parents and students. The Principals ability to know so many children/families by name is also above and beyond!
Posted by a parent on 5/27/2020I cannot say enough good things about Mason Crest ES. First I'd like to point out that the test scores can be misleading. MCES has a high number of students coming from extremely difficult circumstances, both financially and otherwise. There are a high number of students who don't speak English. Tha
Posted by a parent on 4/5/2019The teachers at Mason Crest are great, but severely overworked. Which is why many are leaving. However, I am noticing that the replacement teachers seem to be younger and less experienced, which is probably why test scores are dismal here. The administration, however, is seriously lacking in any sor
Posted by a parent on 3/27/2019My children loved Masoncrest because the teachers really cared for them and challenged them to do better. I don't know why the ranking is so low but Masoncrest deserves a 8 or 9.

8/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy son recently started attending this school and initially tested high enough to be placed in the AAP math class. At first, he was very happy and felt proud that his hard work had paid off. However, he has since shared that the academic pace feels extremely light, almost as if he is taking the year off. There is very little homework, and much of the school day appears to be spent on Chromebooks with limited structure or academic accountability.I am concerned about the quality of math instruction and assessment. The SOL math results appear weak, and the instructional approach does not seem to build a strong mathematical foundation. Previously, when we lived in Florida, my son participated in a Fast Math style program that used structured modules to reinforce mastery and progression. That approach was far more effective and supported long term understanding.Since enrolling here, I have noticed a decline in my son’s academic performance. To compensate, I am supplementing at home with math, reading, and science, but I worry this is not enough to replace consistent, high quality instruction during the school day.I am also concerned about the lack of collaboration with parents. Communication with teachers is slow and often takes several days. There does not appear to be a willingness to work in partnership with families. At our previous school, if my son missed only two questions on an assessment, the test would be sent home so we could review the material together before the next evaluation. That level of feedback and engagement made a meaningful difference.I am genuinely worried about my son’s academic trajectory and believe educational standards, particularly in math, require serious attention in Virginia. I want to work collaboratively with the school to ensure my child is appropriately challenged and supported.Parent Review5mo ago - Annandale Terrace Elementary School

3/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI have a son in kindergarten and I’ve had the worst experience. He’s really talented when it come to academics but the teachers are teaching so many kids that they don’t have time to really look at all their strengths. I guess that’s public school for you.Parent Review5mo ago - Beech Tree Elementary School
