Read what parents are saying about Buckland Mills Elementary School
I'm not sure if this is representative of a typical public school. But I have experienced from teachers that obviously didn't care to teachers that care. My child is currently in 3rd. I will not name the teachers that did not care because it could have been an off year with outside circumstances going on. But Ms. Spain was geat. As far as front office Ms. Laurie consistently makes you feel like your walking into a family atmosphere and is knowledgeable about all questions. She is the front line and makes you feel like you made a good choice with choosing Buckland Mills. Until you get inside meet all of the other staff and the atmosphere gets very cold very fast. I don't feel the welcoming atmosphere. Many teachers really give off a please don't talk to me attitude. It's hard to describe it. But this is how I feel. Maybe I expect too much.

My grandson started in Buckland Elementary school.At the time he had not been tested for special education. They did not test until 3rd grade. He actually got SUSPENDED in kindergarten. I won't go into this but this school was an utter failure in understanding and did not want him back. He was sent to another school... more on that in that review.If your child has a problem it's best to help not shun and shame.He's carried this with him ALL HIS LIFE.THEY COULD HAVE BEEN WAY BETTER. I SEE THIS SCHOOL AS AN UTTER FAILURE!

My 2 sons have had a great experience at this school. Teachers have worked with before and after school.

Being a family that moves a lot, Buckland really feels like home. The staff is beyond amazing. I have a son, now in middle school, that attended only 5th grade here. He is on the spectrum and gifted. He was nurtured and it was the first year he didn't feel different. He even made his first friend ever. I wish he could have gone to Buckland from K up. My daughter now currently goes here. She was in 2nd last year and had one of the best teachers I've met (and I'm a teacher). This year she is thriving as well. First year of SOLs but she isn't nervous. Huge difference from my son's experience at an elementary school in Manassas during his 3rd grade year. Finally the PYIBP is fantastic at this school. I know teachers who have worked here and rave about how wonderful it is. If you're on the fence, I cannot recommend this school enough. They really prepare them for middle school without focusing on tests. Caring, nurturing environment.
