Anne E. Moncure Elementary School

I am leaving this review because today’s bus service was completely unacceptable. The bus was scheduled to arrive at 8:12 a.m., but it never came. My children, ages five and older, were left waiting outside until 8:36 without any notification or explanation. I contacted the school, and they told me there was nothing they could do; they just gave me the transportation number. As a parent, I am deeply concerned—this lack of communication is a major safety risk. I need answers, and I need assurances this will never happen again.

After visiting the new Anne E. Moncure Elementary school, we were quite impressed with the school principle, teachers and the schools collective resources available for the children. Nothing but great things to say about the level of effort and commit of the school and their collective staff. Our son is on his 2nd year at Anne E. Moncure Elementary and he's doing quite well. We would highly recommend this school.

This school was fine until the pandemic and online schooling started. Now, no matter how many times I contact everyone about the bullying going on with my son, they ignore it. The female P.E teacher also loves to scream at kids over minor things and encourages the other kids to do the same as well.

Through the guiding principals taught to students, bullying has no place at Moncure.

Excellent! As a parent, one of my greatest concerns is that my child is receiving a good education. As a military family, my child has to move frequently which compounds those concerns. Moncure staff put those concerns to rest from the very first interaction after relocating to Virgina which was our 4th move and 3rd school for my second grader.

Programs such as Accelerated Reading Program encourage young children to read and engage with the reading material

Mrs. Skeer (2nd Grade) is a phenomenal educator

Posted: February 20, 2020

Moncure has guiding principals to teach students to be kind and respectful to others.

Posted: February 20, 2020

Principal and teaching staff are positively engaged with the students and show that they truly care about the academic success of students in the school.

Posted: February 20, 2020

Students who are excelling are considered for Advanced programs by teacher recommendation.

I had a concern with some thing happening on the bus, called the office and was immediately put through to the principal. I explained my concerns and it was dealt with the very next day. Can't argue with that!!

Posted: September 9, 2018

Each teacher has their own homework system but I have a 6th grader and 3rd grader. Every year and with each teacher the homework made sense and wasn't simply busy work.

Posted: September 9, 2018

Every single teacher my bous have had has hustled to make sure their classes needs we're met. Whether they work as a grade level to swap kids based on what they need remediation in, or creating extension activities to push them further.

The admin is super responsive to parent concerns, and the kids adore them!! Couldn't ask for a better team of folks looking out for our kids!

Posted: September 9, 2018

Lots of different strategies going on to meet kids on their level and help get them where they need to be. Tests don't tell the full truth. Some of these kiddos come to school way below the "norm", and everyone at Moncure's Rally's around them to help them along.

This school is an incredible learning family. You feel it as you walk the halls, work with kids teachers, and see your child talk about it. We are truly blessed to be Moncure's Bears!!

While crowding has become an issue in later years, I find this school to continue to be one of the very best in the area. The care and concern that the staff has for each student is amazing. I will say, they can only do so much. If your child is struggling and you don't get involved when they reach out to you, their hands can often be tied. Get in there, volunteer when you can, stay involved. Be an integral part of your child's learning experience.

I assume this is based upon each individual teacher, as they all have their own system. My son had a homework folder that came home every Monday and had until Friday to complete so he could do it at his own pace.

Posted: August 29, 2017

My experiences with all faculty has been at least positive if not phenomenal. There will always be a few you just don't "get"... but as a whole-- stellar staff!!

Posted: August 29, 2017

They place emphasis on every quality mentioned and then some, rewarding students who display these characteristics quarterly.

Posted: August 29, 2017

Every child at the school adores the administrative staff. You'd think the principal was a rock star if you saw him walk through the cafeteria at any random time.

Posted: August 29, 2017

They even have a kindness pledge that the children recite daily with the morning announcements. Not only is it anti-bully but it helps them to understand when they or someone they know are getting bullied they should speak up about it.

Anne E Moncure has some of the most amazing teachers and staff!!
Because we have had to move a lot, I've dealt with quite few elementary schools with my two older boys. Every school was the same, they were nice but I felt my kids were invisible to them and they didn't care if my boys struggled in their work just as long as they pass, I even had one school completely ignore me when I reached out to the principle with concerns. After all the other elementary schools leaving a bad taste in my mouth, I was hesitant and terrified when I had to enroll my last child who was academically behind, suffering with awful anxiety and very low self-esteem. I needed a teacher who was patient, kind, uplifting, understanding and able to find his learning style. I thought what was needed for my son to be happy and successful at school was impossible to get. I had many, many, sleepless nights crying, thinking no teacher is going to give my son the attention he needs.
My son is in his second year at Moncure now and the expectations that I thought were unattainable were not only met but exceeded by his teachers!!! I hope the staff I have had the pleasure dealing with never forget how important they are and how grateful I am for them. They helped my son in so many ways, and gave me the peace of mind I so badly needed and prayed for.

Forever grateful,
Haley

I have a child at Ann E Moncure school now. I feel that the staff are great and really work with you to help you get the best education.

I am a parent of 3 children at Moncure Elementary. I also substitute teach there as well. I can not think of a reason why this would not be rated a 9 or 10 on Great Schools. It is about the nicest place one could send a child! The students are kind, the front office, nurse and staff are excellent. My girls come home happy nearly every day. Moncure has high standards and the children are taught according to the State of Virginia standards. There is an acceptable amount of homework - not too much and not too little in my opinion. Obviously this may differ by teacher but we have had six teachers now and I feel they are pretty consistent throughout. The teachers here truly care about the student's success and work hard to provide a loving and nurturing learning environment. There are wonderful opportunities for your children to be involved in extracurricular after school activities as well. Come check it out and you will be happy you did!

My daughter is in Kindergarten at this school. I am happy with the information she is learning as well as her reading level. I volunteer on Thursdays and I am pleased with the Principal and staff. There are many after school programs offered for math, science, and reading. My child's art work is very advanced and she always has a library book to read. I am very happy with this school.

Posted: March 25, 2014

We were not happy at this school. There are most definitely a few teachers (Kindergarten) who are not fit to be teachers and lack the qualities a parent would want around their children. We just moved from this school and are happy we did. The principal is very nice but the teachers do not try to challenge the smarter kids. The school is very old and sits right up next to the busy main road.

Posted: March 16, 2014

I can't submit enough about Moncure Elementary. The Principal, Teachers, Staff, and our PTO do so much to keep our school great. Teachers (and Principal) are approachable and work with parents to ensure that our children succeed. The school is a little on the older side but full of passion for learning and teaching. You know you have a great school when your children come home excited about what they did at school that day and when your oldest can transfer into Middle School easily.

We absolutely love Moncure! I have a kindergartener and a first grader; we could not be happier. I volunteer frequently and love the friendly office staff. My girls have two very different personalities and they were wonderfully placed with great teachers! I love that the principal comes to every event and out daily to talk to parents and students.

Posted: November 21, 2013

Nice people (parents, teachers, and staff) but is overcrowded. 700 students is too many for the number of special needs and challenged children this school has. This site lost my comphensive review of the school. Surrounded by too many businesses and too little green area. Library is too small for normal library activities. PE has 50 students per class. Music is understaffed and lacks some reasonable equipment to do more than introduce children to music.

Moncure is an excellent school, my kids just finished the 5th grade and I feel that this school has done a wonderful job preparing my children for the sixth grade. Thanks to all the Staff and Teachers

Moncure Elementary is a FABULOUS school which offers multiple tools and effective ways for our children to learn. Its a very parent friendly environment, even the Principal takes the time to meet and greet everyone. My son LOVES the school and so far has liked every teacher there. I am shocked to see such a low rating for this school. Its not accurate and parents should evaluate themselves before they ridicule other kids at the school. Kids behavior has a lot to do with parenting, don't blame the school b.c. your kid was disciplined or dealt with other types of personalities at the school. MONCURE IS AWESOME!
