Laurel Hill Elementary School

My experience here was awful the teachers and staff members are lacking to do there work for example they don’t pay attention as much to the students I heard that students were vaping in the bathroom and talking about starting Gangs and other violent activities.

We love Halley's principal, teachers, and the PTO. The school provides a sense of community and identity for my kids, who love going to school each day. No school is perfect but Halley does an incredible job with its diverse mix of kids. Don't let the ratings sway you away - talk to a Halley parent for real insight.

I do not recommend this school for special needs children. This is my daughter’s third school in the county and we are having a horrible experience. The school makes me feel like the worse parent in the world. Constant emails and calls letting me every bad thing my child did that day. Not one good report despite not having ANY issues at her other 2 schools. It’s like if your child doesn’t fit into their cookie cutter example of a good student, they treat them like criminals. Instead of providing my daughter help they decided to isolate her and not allow her around any kids her age. The principal has threatened to suspend my child for doing things related to her autism. The principle is a nightmare! I’ve made a discrimination complaint against her with the county. I hate my child is at this school and I’m working with the region to get her moved. Otherwise legal action will be taken.

This was the best school our children went to during our time in the military. To top it off only 15 minutes from Ft. Belvoir.

I've been at this school for 7 years and now I'm in High school and the experience was okay fights were taken care of never stopped which shows the admins work which isn't all there fault but they could do better then just interviewing students and suspending kids but overall the teachers here were really nice and the school isn't all that bad.

My child had been going to this school for 4 years but he dropped out due to neglect and poor learn at this school!!!!! Students would bully my child and i told the teachers and they did nothing, they did not even care a single bit. The teachers didn't teach, they just go on their phones and give work sheets, like this is not teaching! And the food is horrible and the school is a mess, the food they serve doesn't look like food at all, and they just reuse the left over food over and over. The school has trash all over the school and doesn't even the messes. Overall don't go this school i am warning you guys!

We have been at this schoolSince 2020 and originally picked it because of its cleanliness and mask, socialDistancing guidelines but aside from that both our kids have flourished here. My oldest will be 5 soon and she started at 18 months old! Their confidence level stands out and the teachers are loving. The administration brought in a stronger lead and changes have been made across the board to the type of structure the school offers. Sometimes having tough administrative staff can be seen as a negative but I think in thus space it’s worked out nicely with Ofcourse some ups and downs. The school runs nicely and you know your kids are taken care of. As a working parent that’s all I want.

I am sending my children to Angelus Academy, and have since my oldest started in Kindergarten (now in 7th grade). We specifically choose this school because it doesn't use computers in the classroom, enabling a traditional education. The children are all a pleasure to be around, I truly enjoy when I'm able to chaperone on field trips. My children also ENJOY their classes and learning. They truly like their teachers and want to attend school. I am so thankful that we found Angelus Academy.
