Escuela Key Elementary

Ashlawn is an Excellent school in every way.There are a lot of factors that go into learning.Teachers can't fix everything, including home issues & emotional problems.For the most part, these teachers do the best they can with their positive influence & teaching skills during the hours the students are at school.Anything outside of that is out of their control.Thank You,Eileen Salter

We have had a terrible experience at Barrett. The administration is weak and ineffective. They have some serious behavior issues and parent involvement is minimal.

Just chiming in to say these glowing reviews are still relevant. Glebe really is a great school- with experienced, dedicated teachers, a very active PTA, and incredibly devoted administration. The student body is very diverse, but the school seems to excel in fostering an inclusive environment that celebrates differences while also creating a close-knit, family- like environment. We're a lucky community to have it.

The name of this school is now Alice west fleet. It moved here five? or so years ago in to a brand new building and changed its previous name Patrick Henry to Alice West Fleet. I think it is because the name is not changed here that there are no reviews after 2017. My son has been going to this school for just over a year. I find the teachers are good, they are dedicated, experienced, supportive and engaged with parents, at least in our experience. The administrators are also welcoming and responsive to parent inquiries and concerns. However I found they are not strong in addressing kids bullying. Even though, they responded to concerns from a few parents, they didn’t take strong action so the problem was not fully resolved. I am afraid if such problem persist the school is not well equipped to address it decisively. The advanced academics (gifted) program also seems less challenging and engaging to students enrolled in the gifted program. Over all though, the school environment is welcoming and the education is good with a well diverse student community. In fact I feel the 5/10 rating it is given here I doesn’t do it justice.

The school district closed McKinley elementary school in 2021. The building it was in now houses Arlington Traditional School, a different Arlington public elementary school. There are no McKinley teachers here, and no students. GreatSchools should remove this listing. It’s confusing to people. How can it have “above average test scores” as of September 2023, if McKinley has been closed since 2021?

We had such a wonderful experience at this school. My kids absolutely loved going there every single day. Even after we left and moved out of the school district, they still talk about their time there and often say they wish they could go back. That alone says so much about the positive impact this school had on them.The teachers and staff truly meet students’ academic needs based on each child’s individual ability. They make sure every student gets the support they need to succeed. Whenever extra help was needed, it was provided with care and dedication.Safety was never a concern for us. We never experienced any incidents with our children, and the school always maintained a secure and nurturing environment. Communication with parents was consistent and clear, which made us feel involved and informed at all times.The school is culturally diverse and respectful of all backgrounds. The entire school community is supportive, welcoming, and inclusive. From teachers to administrators to other families, everyone plays a role in creating a positive atmosphere.If you ever have the opportunity to send your child to this school, don’t blink — take it. We will always be thankful for the experience and the strong foundation it gave our children.
