J B Watkins Elementary School

We have been a Gordon family for many years and have had multiple children attend Gordon. We love the small community feel and love that the teachers truly care about the students and their families. We love Gordon!

We love Evergreen and everything they stand for! We will have 3 kids there in the fall. The neighborhood is lovely, the teachers and staff are phenomenal, and the families are involved! I love the emphasis on our multi-cultural community. They are being taught love, acceptance, and "ally-ship" which is above and beyond the regular curriculum. I've only had experience in general and gifted education and we have been very pleased so far.

We only spent one year here. There are better Montessori options in Richmond and we have found one with much better direction & organization.

Old Hundred Elementary School has consistently ranked in the top 20% of elementary schools statewide due to strong academic performance and supportive environment. It has earned recognition as a distinguished school through high proficiency rates in core subjects and eligibility for national best elementary school awards. Particularly impressive is it's First place scoring in Virginia School's Region 1 for ESOL testing, which highlights the school's exceptional whole-staff teaching strategies and dedicated support for English language learners and all students alike. I'm proud to be a teacher at this school.

We spent nearly a year going through the application process. The administration was horrible at communicating with us and I had to frequently reach out past expected timelines to schedule the next step. During the child interview, the owner was distant, barely answered our questions and largely ignored us. It took nearly two months for anyone to get back to us about enrollment, and this was after we had reached out multiple times requesting updates and information.
