AMAZING SCHOOL! The teachers and principals are wonderful. It's small so everyone knows everyone. I can't say enough good things.

School size is great . Personable. However I am not pleased with the principals. We, as well as several other parents have raised many of the same concerns to get awful responses. Such as "grades don't matter at this point" well actually they do, because that is a reflection of what you are learning. Some teachers have failed to meet any bit of standards you would expect. A lot are younger and do not have the children skills/experience needed. Most parents I know have a lot of the same complaints and nothing is being done. I know SOLs standards are high, but sitting back and watching kids fail or make repeated poor grades is unacceptable. On a less important note, allowing your teachers to wear revealing (very short) dresses and tight yoga pants every day isn't acceptable in my opinion. Contrary to what you may be told, there are other options even in Roanoke Co. that will serve you and your child better.
