Virginia Beach Middle School

We have nothing but positive feedback about Linkhorn Park. My son is thriving and loves his teachers who are extremely thoughtful and helpful. The team goes above and beyond any expectation I had as a parent. The appropriate accommodations are made for my son and communication is clear. The AM instructor who I adore is Art and play therapy based. She is extremely intelligent. I am very grateful to be a Linkhorn Lion Mom.

I left this school about a year ago to go to middle school. For anyone looking for the student perspective, it's not that great, I made good friends, but I also went to school almost every day in fear. Everything else was ok though.

If you want your children to succeed then please look straight past this school. The help is no help at all and I'm pretty surprised considering all the good things I've heard from this school. Need new staff and new people in general who actually want to work.

I am writing to express my deep concerns regarding the conduct and professionalism of the staff at Birdneck Elementary School in Virginia Beach. Based on my experience, this has been the most troubling school environment I’ve encountered, particularly in the context of how they handle family dynamics and parental rights.It is highly inappropriate for school staff to involve themselves in custody matters—especially when one parent is employed by the school, giving them undue influence. This has led to the other parent being effectively shut out from building any relationship with teachers or administrators.There have also been alarming breaches of protocol, including allowing unauthorized individuals to pick up children without proper parental consent, simply because it was not the scheduled week for the other custodial parent. Such actions not only violate trust but raise serious safety concerns.Additionally, I am extremely concerned about allegations that teachers have allowed students to stay in their private homes while a parent was out of town, without notifying or involving the other legal guardian. This behavior is unacceptable and lacks the transparency and professionalism expected in any educational environment.Efforts to obtain information or clarification are often met with resistance, delays, or being placed on hold for excessive periods, apparently to avoid addressing legitimate concerns. The sign-out logs are not made accessible, and communication from staff is evasive and dismissive.The teachers I’ve interacted with have not shown the empathy or engagement that parents should reasonably expect when entrusting their children to a school’s care.I urge the appropriate school authorities, including the Virginia Beach City Public Schools administration, to investigate these matters seriously and implement necessary changes to ensure all families are treated with fairness, transparency,

Norfolk Christian is a great school if you are looking for excellent academics AND a Christian world-view. My children are truly thriving because of the high standards coupled with a warm, loving atmosphere.

This school does not teach children good citizenship. The children basically own the school and are allowed to run wild. I have seen the cafeteria. Older children are allowed to bully younger children. The younger children are bullied into giving up their lunches to older children and do not feel that they are allowed to keep their food.The teachers work tirelessly but the current administration does not support any of the teachers hi feel intimidated. Children are taught to judge others in negative and demeaning ways. If you are looking for a good private school, DO NOT put your child here. This is a lot worse then public school which my children have been in before. I had to take my child out if this school after older children continued to bully her and the administration refused to help her. This school does not teach discipline and respect. The teachers work tirelessly but the administration is a sham and very condescending to them as well as the parents.

Our child endured a distressing ordeal at the school, having been subjected to physical violence from another student. Shockingly, the responsible student was not removed from the school even though there were multiple complaints. Moreover, the assigned teacher seemed ill-equipped to to interact effectively with younger children, exhibiting a cold and unwelcoming demeanor. As a result, our child's educational experience suffered significantly. Upon transferring to public school, it became evident that our child had fallen behind in reading, highlighting the shortcomings of the costly education for which we had paid a substantial tuition fee.
