"School and staff are great. What is being taught is not so good. Moving from one school system from another state to FL back to VA, I could not believe how far behind our child got in one year. Our son has been a honor roll student since he started school and never fails to bring home great work and even better grades. Now since moving back to VA after one year he is so far behind it is just amazing. His grades are suffering because he is playing catch up. During his 4th grade year I never thought his teacher was pushing him enough so we would always go an extra step at home. But even starting in his 5th grade there, after one month (because we moved) they were still not "doing" anything. The schools here were only in for two weeks when we got here and they were already being pushed to their grade levels and beyond. My complaint is not with the Principal and the office staff, it is with the lack of education in a hall full of nothing but. We always did find it kind of odd that out of 22 students 18 would be honor roll. In any other school, the average of honor roll to not honor roll did not exceed half of a class! I wish education was just as important as making kids feel good about themselves and not about the "honor roll student" stickers on the back of cars. Unfortunately, its all about the $ that the students can bring in with good grades "Look our students are smart!" when actually comparably speaking they are falling behind."
