Poplar Tree Elementary School

Brookfield to me was a wonderful school. I was there since kindergarten and its a amazing school

I’ve been really disappointed with this school. Many of the teachers don't seem to genuinely care about the students, and they don’t communicate well with parents. Concerns are often ignored or brushed aside, which leaves families feeling unsupported. Schools should keep parents informed and care about each child’s growth, but that hasn’t been my experience here.

Since the COVID outbreak, the quality of education in this school as been lacking. The teachers are more motivated to just teach the curriculum generally, and there is not enough homework assignments and projects handed out. The school used to be better. You really need to supplement your child's education with other external classes in order to really catch up with the actual curriculum. The AAP teacher here is also not very helpful and Fairfax County AAP and Advanced Placement curriculum is very confusing and keeps changing all the time.

This school is really great and would recommend it. The teachers are very supportive and fun, I had a lot of fun in my years and hope people join and experience it too.

My daughter has been at Colin Powell Elementary from kindergarten through 6th grade in the general education program, and we absolutely adore the teachers and staff. They are caring, dedicated, and make learning a wonderful experience.My son receives support through an IEP for his ADHD, and the staff have been incredibly supportive and loving toward him. They even attend his soccer games on Saturdays to cheer him on, which means so much to our family.To parents who feel that having children with autism or ADHD disrupts the classroom: public schools are designed for all students, and Fairfax County schools, like many across the country, are currently facing teacher shortages. The staff at Colin Powell Elementary are doing their absolute best to meet the needs of every child, and we are so grateful for their hard work and dedication.

My daughter attended St Tims for preschool in the parttime 3s and parttime 4s programs! She had great experiences, and I would recommend this school to anyone of the Christian faith! My daughter has a wonderful understanding and excitement for Jesus already

I love this school. It has better education than most public schools. This school has great teachers that actually prepare you for next year. Also, the School has smaller grade numbers. For example the 7th grade has only 16 kids and I'm one of them. This school is great.
