Franklin High School

My son has enjoyed being at this school. I feel he is able to reach his goal for success with the teachers here at this school. They seem to care and be there for the children. The teachers do an excellent job in preparing the children for sols and tests. They also do well in helping the children gain self esteem, prepare for everyday situations and become independent. The teachers always seem to have smiles on in the hallways or classrooms when you walk by. The staff seem wonderful. The ladies in the office always seem polite on the phone. The Principal and Vice Principal have made this school a safe and healthy environment for the children. I would recommend Riverdale Elementary School, Courtland,Va. I Love this school and the teachers and staff.

S.P. Morton is perhaps the worst school In which I have ever had the misfortune of setting foot. Our daughter attended Bright Starts there last year and was plagued with bullies, about which the teachers did nothing. Her teacher was arrested and suspended without pay for months, then reinstated without mention of the entire incident to her students' parents. The school is filthy and in shambles. There is NO security to speak of - any time we went to pick up our daughter we were to just walk right in, go by ourselves to her class and retrieve her. Halfway through the year, we withdrew her and homeschooled. We now pay $3,500 non-jurisdiction tuition for her to attend IOWC schools and we could n t be more thrilled!
