The principle and teachers are horrible they do not value any parents rights or say so in there child’s education . Instead they belittle you and don’t care and tell you . You as a parent do not matter there horrible at communicating and they rather your child fail rather then offer tutoring I hate
Posted by a parent on 8/20/2024Machen is a great school. The teachers all work very hard to make sure the students do well. The test scores are off the charts compared to newport news, and other hampton city schools. You get what you put in. If you are involved in your child's education, and participate in communication you will

Posted by a parent on 7/14/2022Terrible. After hearing from my child that a knife had been taken into school for the second week in a row, I called the city to squash the rumor. The secretary was surprised by my call, "Didn't anyone tell you?" Two were brought into the school, but only one was considered dangerous, and no the did
Posted by a parent on 6/26/2018This has been the worst school system I have had to deal with. Most of the staff don't even seem to like working with kids. The communication with parents is poor.

5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThere's been many complaints about this school. Some of the staff has been replaced the assistant principal was let go. But some of the staff that was a part of the problem is still there along with the principal. The staff is very mean they're very mean to the children. They let the children fight the principal does nothing. Which her emails are being intercepted by the new assistant principal. Some of the teachers yell at the students, there's beef and dislike among the staff so you know who already is running it , my two daughters have seen this over the years but not anymore. I'm with drawing them from the school. Their friends also go to the school and know that the staff is very. the lunch lady even told my daughter to clean up her mess on the floor. What a horrible School don't send your kids there many parents have already left already.Parent Review2y ago - Christopher C. Kraft Elementary School
