Corporate Landing Elementary School

Posted: November 19, 2023

My child has attended for three years now, and I will say the assistant principal is awesome.
Teachers, however, will let you know their frustrations with your child and the classroom in general off the bat. They have no "chaos control", and blame it on COVID years. Two weeks into this school year, I picked my kid up from after school same time her teacher was coming out of school, and had the audacity to come to my car and say, Infront of my child, that "she is smart but not living up to her potential." And continued to degrade her Infront of me while telling my daughter and I how stressed she is. I work 60 hours a week as an Operations Director- if I complained to everyone how stressed I was and berated my team, my team would not be successful and I'd be fired. Teacher has made numerous comments to my kid that I find flat out rude, but the teachers paint a pretty picture when I call the assistant principle, so it's pointless. I work with a former Chesapeake principal who, when I discuss the issues I've had with the teachers here, told me to go straight to the school board and file a complaint, which was validating but sad at the same time.
I've walked into that school several times and see/hear teachers have very negative discussions about their classes, which I feel perpetuates an overall justification to be desensitized to the children, harsh, overbearing and overly consequential. My daughter has called me from the nurses office several times, and when on the phone, I've heard teachers YELLING at children, obviously unaware of a parent listening. When my child has computer activities that have voice recordings, I can hear teachers yelling and being harsh with kids as well. The teachers are strict about bathroom breaks due to lack of security in the halls. They need a note from the doctor to let them go to the bathroom more than THEY think is necessary.
My child has been physically bullied and the boys who have put their hands on my child faces no repercussions and my kid was still forced to sit at the same table and engage with them, even when I demanded she be moved. The teachers say "small problems should be handled by the kids" but how can you even say that with kids who are still learning emotional regulation? It was only after I told a teacher my child will hit back next time her bullies got her, that she actually listened. I worry every day how my kid is treated. At 7 years old, she is ALREADY stressed about school. Avoid if you can.

The ratings for this school is OVERRATED. The school is nothing like it seems and they don't care to help you when you need it.

I only gave "agree" because the one time my son was bullied they took care of it. However, they failed to mention to me that anything had happened until about two days later. Overall, they just need to alert both children's families and then it would be strongly agree.

Interpreters are available for every grade. Even hearing children are offered the opportunity to learn sign language.

Citizen of the month programs help children to strive for excellence for things beyond grades and attendance. It shows that qualities such as honesty, loyalty, and caring are just as important as making a good grade.

I've had 2 children go through this school. Both had amazing experiences and amazing teachers.

The teachers and staff all care about the children. I love the activities that they have at the school to involve parents. My daughter has had a wonderful elementary experience because of corporate landing! I will truly miss the closeness that we had at this school!!
