The first year our child was in this school for preK it was awesome. After that the decline started. First off the front office staff have to be the rudest and laziest bunch I've ever encountered. It really was a nightmare dealing with this group and almost anything they could push off on the teache
Posted by a parent on 7/5/2023My kids seemed to like KES pretty well, but as a parent, I found it quite frustrating. I'm sure part of it was because of the pandemic and having a new principal, but still, I'm glad to be moving on. There were just so many problems related to poor communication—both from teachers and from administr
Posted by a parent on 6/20/2022My wife and I sent both of our kids to KES in the past year. Overall we had an OK experience with the school, up until a recent concert in which our daughter participated. The theme of the concert (described as an “informance” rather than a performance by the music teacher) was promoting world peace
Posted by a parent on 5/28/2022Kempsville Elementary is a great school. Not only are the teachers supportive and dedicated toward the students, but the other families and students are amazing, too. What you get at KES is community. No drama, no bullying. We are an average income area with plenty of diversity. We are extremely hap
Posted by a parent on 8/14/202110/10, I love this school. My daughters go and have gone here, and my son will too if I don't get stationed elsewhere. This place is great!

5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageIt could be an okay school if ALL of the teachers were good to the children, but they are not. The principle treats us like 5-year-olds and has no respect for us. The school is very cheap and not clean AT ALL. It is literally falling apart everywhere. Our principal and vice principal and most of the teachers are not very nice, they don't understand kids at ALL. The school was much better 2 years ago, when the principal and staff were different. I do not recommend this school. They are lucky with the 2.Student Review1mo ago - Kempsville Meadows Elementary School

5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageCurrent Administration doesn't know how to handle difficult situations. Dr. Goldberg is flat out rude. Nursing staff phones it in. Had a bad run with teachers too. Last year the teacher allowed fidget toys and the complained the kids were distracted. duh.This year my kid gets a head injury because the teacher replaced their chairs with balls to sit on. This are elementary school age kids. You give them toys they are going to play.Parent Review11mo ago - Providence Elementary School

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageTabernacle Baptist Academy is a wonderful school for children to experience a Christian based learning experience at a superior pace with expert approach. My Grandson has attended from Pre K (age of 3) and is so prepared for entering 1st Grade. He has learned so much and has surprised us time and again with his knowledge of the Bible and has shared so much of what he has learned with his friends at our family church in his children’s church class. If you have any reservations about sending your child to this school, stop. This is the place. I can only speak to the Pre K from experience but I can attest to a solid foundation of learning in a Christian environment. This school has exceeded expectations in so many ways. I know that we are blessed to have made this school selection for our family.Other Review3y ago
