Great Bridge High School

Impressed with how they have handled a bullying situation. The teacher and vice principal handled it well.

The school does not have an inclusive philosophy for children with developmental or intellectual delays. They still use self-contained classrooms as the primary placement. Southeastern happened to be our school district, but many of my daughter’s classmates were bussed in from other schools to attend the self-contained class, further separating those students from their peers by not only being in a separate class but also a different school. My daughter was not challenged in this setting, she was not exposed to the same curriculum as her Gen. Ed. peers, even after I obtained the Gen Ed materials from other parents and videoed her doing the work. We eventually pulled her and placed her in a private school where she is 100% included. While the VA DOE does have a published guidebook for inclusion, this school does not follow it. They have not implemented the practices discussed in the guide book such as a written inclusion policy, development of an inclusion advisory team, or universal design learning. I gave this school 2 stars rather than 1 because I believe the teachers did indeed care about my daughter but were not supported by the policies in place, lack of 1:1 aides, and training on inclusive practices. I blame the admin and district rather than the individual teachers.

I have NEVER been happier with any other childcare my son has attended. I have had so many issues finding a trustworthy childcare that would look after my son as I would. And FINALLY I have found that and more! I am currently pregnant with my second child and I guarantee he will be attending this childcare as well! Its like dropping your child off with family every day! :)

My daughter LOVES this school!!! Staff is fantastic! Christian education is great! Can't say enough about every one here!!!

I went there for most of my life and what I can tell you is when I was there, it felt like I was in a living hell. I was being bullied and when I went to tell the principal he did not do anything because his kid was part of the group but did they care, NO! The main bully did not get in trouble because she was friends with the principals kids. So i became the black sheep of the school and they still continued to bully me. Also they do not care about your mental health. If you say you have anxiety and depression they will tell you that you are not close to God which is not true. These kinds of schools are the reasons that people are straying away from God.
