Shrevewood Elementary School

I like the school because they encourage children to read, be independent, analytical and respectful of others.They have positive projects for the benefit of the student and in relation to others.

This school is completely unequipped to teach and challenge more advanced students. For three years in a row, my child has not been challenged and his math skills have not improved at all. Now, I learned that they restructured the ADP L IV program to make it a lot less selective. They qualified over 30% of students for Level IV, and less than 50% of students in the Level IV program will actually be Level IV students as they intermix a lot of other students. So in short, it's completely not selective. I strongly regret buying my house in the neighborhood I did.

One of the 2nd grade teachers got mad at my daughter for having an asthma attack and told her she was disrupting the class by coughing. bullying is a big problem, my daughter would come home in tears sometimes.

As a former student, I can say that it really truly is a great place to be.

Overall, I appreciated the fact that I had reliable teachers to count on when I need help. However, I did not appreciate the fact that I was treated differently from others based on my work ethic and behavior. I do admit that I never started going to this school from kindergarten and the fact that I came from a school that was not affiliated with FCPS was a challenge for me personally because I never had this experience. As a result, I was treated differently and was put to blame by teachers and having to suffer consequences that never applied to me during my first year. I also have a sibling who attended this school and was assigned to one of the teachers who made my first year as a student at Shrevewood a living nightmare. He was also treated horribly by this teacher due to the fact that he was related to me by blood. I do remember one day when he came up to me and mentioned about this teacher telling him that I was a “really bad troublemaker”. At first, I laughed it off, but internally, I was appalled by the fact that she even mocked me and assumed that it was appropriate to say that to my sibling who was only a second-grader at this school. If I wasn’t treated this way, along with my sibling, I would have admitted that being a student at this school was the best thing I have ever had as a child. Instead, I was verbally abused and taken advantage of based on my characteristics as a student.
