Herndon Elementary School

I recommend this school, it's very good.

Our daughter is in her second year as a teacher at Hutchison, and we’ve visited the school many times and done some volunteer work there. This large school with students from many countries is exciting and vibrant. The administration, office staff, support staff, and teachers are dedicated to providing students with a quality education and many extra activities to bring success and pride to them.The school does an excellent job in communicating with families, providing translations in Spanish and other languages. There are many evening and weekend events for students and families to enjoy, including those sponsored by local charities including Girls on the Run, She Believes in Me, and other community partners.The building is in good condition, with large outdoor play areas, and abundant parking ( a rarity at most schools,)Fairfax County Public Schools are top rated among Virginia school systems.

I don’t recommend this school ever. It’s so bad that there is bullying every day and don’t do anything about it. I filled a complaint took my information down No ONE bothered to call me back and update me about my complaint. If your child bullied or cyber bullied don’t even bother to call them , they tell you it’s not their responsibility to take care of it. Worse school ever. ZERO STAR

This school has no clue what is going on ever within the student body. My special needs son has a bus he takes, we get told there’s an app for it. Cool. Bus is late, get to Aldrin, report it. Get a snide response from the secretary going “that’s a transportation problem” as if students not making it to class is a big deal. Strike 1. Other me secretary tells me “yeahh we dont know when the busses are delayed and we rely on parents to report this.”Strikes 2 and 3. You not only don’t know, but you rely on people who also don’t know whats going on to report on it? Where is the logic? Is this place run by mice in tutus? Seems so.Secretary in closing out right states “yeah for some reason this bus driver never reported a delay”What the heck? So these drivers can just muck off?
