Brandon Middle School

Surprised with how many good reviews this school has, the staff is pretty much don't care for special needs children and don't care to hire the right staff to do so. This is the kind of school you'd wanna keep your child away from due to the gossip that they hear from the teachers. Its like everyone is for themselves here and not a team working together.

Fairfield has been great for my daughter! The teachers truly care, the principal is wonderful, and she’s learning so much!

My children have attended Woodstock since my eldest was in 1st grade, four years ago. We were so pleased our first year as our experience matched the school's reputation. But over the last three years myself and other parents have seen a discouraging shift. The quality of education has slipped. Some of the best teachers have left the school. The teachers that have replaced the former teachers communicate less, are less patient, and the curriculum is sub par. The leadership at the school is untrustworthy and is partially the reason why many of the veteran teachers have left. These are not simply my experience, but the experience of at least two dozen parents that I've spoken with over the last three years. We were hopeful that once things stabilized post covid that the education would return to a better standard. It has not. If I could I would home school or send my children to private school, not Woodstock. Not with the current leadership there. My wife and I, like other parents, are very concerned about what middle school has to offer. We've heard too many unfortunate stories about that experience.

Tallwood is a great school. Both my boys loved it. Teachers wonderful and they take care of ALL students. Tallwood has “0” tolerance for bullying. The teachers build a bond with the students and as a parent when I leave my boys in the care of the school, I expect my boys to be able to feel safe, respected, and learning their work. And all of that applies with Tallwood.

I had a great time visiting Basic Primary one of the most incredible schools I have ever been to in Virginia. They have amazing teachers who strive to ensure each student is learning new things at their own pace. The classroom environment is remarkable. There is so many engaging activities for children. I am so proud that I had an opportunity to visit with this very welcoming team of staff members. Thanks to all the wonderful teachers at Basic Primary.
