Cave Spring Middle School

My son went to Grandin Court. He has a learning disability and was treated terribly. He was bullied by students and some staff members. He never had homework because he had a learning disability. Didn’t learn a thing and was not prepared at all for middle school. If you have a child with a learning disability, you might want to check out other schools.

Excellent experience. My daughter says it's the best school.

The kids love it. The teachers nd staff have been great.

A Disheartening Experience. Poor Leadership and Special Education Services. As a parent deeply invested in my child's education, my experience with Oak Grove Elementary School has been nothing short of disappointing. The glaring issues with this institution stem primarily from its abysmal leadership and woefully inadequate special education services.From the outset, it was evident that OGE lacked effective leadership. Administrative decisions were haphazardly made, resulting in constant confusion and disorganization. The principal seemed disengaged and indifferent to the concerns raised by both parents and teachers, fostering an environment of neglect and frustration.Special education services at OGE were shockingly subpar. Despite assurances of tailored support for students with diverse needs, my child's Individualized Education Program (IEP) was routinely overlooked and disregarded. The lack of qualified staff and resources meant that children with special needs were often left to flounder, without the necessary tools and accommodations to thrive academically and socially.Moreover, communication between the school and parents regarding special education matters was virtually nonexistent. Important updates and progress reports were sporadic at best, leaving families feeling isolated and uninformed about their child's educational journey.In conclusion, Oak Grove Elementary School's abysmal leadership and inadequate special education services have created an environment rife with frustration and disappointment. As a parent, it is heartbreaking to witness the potential of our children stifled by such neglect and incompetence. I urge prospective families to look elsewhere for an educational institution that values every student's unique needs and fosters an environment conducive to growth and success.

Wonderful school all around! The staff and PTA are extremely involved in making sure that the students have a great experience. The office staff is friendly and helpful. The teachers I have experienced have all been amazing with the kids.

This school is worth the investment. Students are academically pushed, but also nurtured by a highly capable, caring teaching faculty. With small class sizes students actually get to participate in sports, musicals and clubs without having to be "D1" caliber. The curriculum is innovative without losing sight of the need for a sound base in reading, writing and math. You're not going to find anything better in the Valley, and the school could compete with the best private schools in Virginia. Is it perfect, no, but what really is?
