Varina Elementary School

This school is a major disappointment. The admins and other staff will wait until literally the last minute to contact the parent about an issue involving your child that happened hours earlier versus right after the incident has occurred. This school also has quite a few teachers who are not board certified/qualified to teach but are hired as full-time teachers. The kids were already falling behind due to Covid and now due to the unqualified teachers, the kids are not able to learn at their respective grade level. Another subject I want to touch base on is the safety issue. The school claims to have a safety procedure or plan in place but the kids are constantly being bullied and threatened. School is suppose to be a safe and fun learning environment. Something needs to be done now because these kids are the future and we must provide them with whatever they need to be successful.

This school is absolutely wonderful! The principal is very hands on and involved with all of the students. Reading is a priority and stressed at every level. I would highly recommend this school.

At Baker, we have the BEST students. They work hard each and every day!!!!
