Olde Creek Elementary School

Military family here. We have moved and had kids enrolled at so many different schools in different states and DOD schools. CWE is one the absolutely best elementary schools we have ever been a part of. The gifted education support program and the special education support programs are exactly what we were looking for. Teachers actually care, kids are actually kids.

I have been so impressed with the staff at Mantua. This is one of the largest elementary schools I have seen and it has the feel of a smaller community school. There is a very welcoming and positive feeling when you enter the school and attend events. My kids are happy and love their teachers. I have been so impressed with the teacher's knowledge of how to best support my kids - they bend over backwards to give them all they need to learn and they truly make the kids feel loved and cared for. You really can't ask for more than that!

I was a student at Daniels Run last year, and I would not recommend sending your kids here. I was bullied by the other students after being there for less than a month. My Mother contacted the school about the bullying, but they barely stepped in. I was isolated most of my sixth grade year, as the teachers did nothing to stop the endless bullying. The teachers here act like they hate children, and the administrators aren't much better. I was punished multiple times for simply standing up for myself, and I was even given lunch detention for getting up at lunch to throw away my trash. This school also has a zero tolerance policy for fighting, which is good in theory, but when I face punched in the face, and I pushed the kid back, I was sent to the office. Don't throw away what should be an experience that shapes your who your kids will be by sending your them here.

I have had nothing but wonderful experiences with St. Ambrose. From speaking and meeting with the principal to engaging with the teachers - all have been incredibly receptive and warm. St. Ambrose is a perfect fit for my children!
