Grace E. Metz Middle School

This school is either number 1 or top 5 worst elementary schools in northern Virginia, the entire school is rotten from teachers to counselors and principle.

I had two kids one from KG and the other one from PreK special education and both did very well. Very thankful for the great teachers and staff at Jennie Dean!

Weems school has rude school staff. Teachers do not have patience with younger kids and raise their voices at the children instead of having patience with them. These people should not be around children if they lack the patience and kindness. The school staff also lack the responsibility of telling the parents of a child what is going on in the classrooms and do not take in consideration how a parent will feel knowing their child is not being treated right. The women in office are very rude and the teachers in the drop off area are also rude and look upon parents they think are below them. Overall not a good school.

I've had students in this school for the last five years. I have been less than impressed with the administration and communication with the administration. The new principal is quite enthusiastic with regard to politicizing her school agenda, however lacks in support of working parents. She creates rules that single out individual students and students families, which cause undue stress without providing solutions that work for all parties. She diminishes parental feedback, and does not follow up on emails or phone calls, unless she originates them. I suppose as long as she's checking the blocks of what is required of her she can say she's doing her job.
