Sullins Academy

Excellent school! Staff,Principal,and secretary are very kind,yet professional. I would recommend this school. And have to anyone seeking a top of the line elementary school. My son is happy there. He gets excited about school daily,sharing with us all the things he's learned. Best elementary school in Virginia/Tennessee area..hands down! Thank you Van Pelt for all your hard work. And thank you for your compassion for our children!

I love that school they were so kind

awesome school I highly recommend going here.

Was a student at this school. First off the token system is messed up. You get tokens for answering questions only if your right if your wrong they don’t give it to you which I see as unfairness for kids trying to engage in class. The homework being forced on children at this school isn’t really a good thing because we all need breaks from school work and work in general. Teachers will teach you but here’s a funny thing a math teacher won’t say names wouldn’t let you figure out math problems the way you want to you HAD to do it in the teachers way or you would be sent out of the classroom and have to complete the assignment the correct way even if the answer on your homework was correct. Which I don’t think that’s called teaching that’s called being one sided and in life there’s more ways to fix a problem then just one way. They put you isolated which they call them has break rooms but it felt more intimidation more than a place to cool off. The principal that was at the school wasn’t the best either. She placed the most stupidest and the most craziest rule and that rule was students couldn’t have there water bottles in the classroom and would only be able to drink water in between classes. Teachers wouldn’t let you go to your lockers to get a drink which is crazy. Other than that don’t send your kid here unless you want your child to become an angry person all the time. There’s better schools out there for children with disabilities move on from this school because they didn’t help me learn anything.

If your child has learning differences, even if they’re highly intelligent/gifted, look elsewhere. The teachers at this school don’t have the tools to work with kids who don’t fit the traditional schooling mold. This isn’t entirely their fault, as they aren’t geared towards dynamic teaching methods, but if you have a child who needs a lot of stimulation, might have ADHD or is hyper-aware, they will be bored senseless here along with being singled out, and you’ll be paying a lot of money for those privileges. Now, if your child does well in a highly structured, traditional class environment, this will be a good school for them.
