Go Ms. Lloyd!!!! You have immaculately redeemed this school and my faith. You have revived this school and truly created an engaging family experience. I'm so sad my son didn't get this experience (well before you came along) but I am so relieved my daughter does! Shout out to Ms. Wicks! Bringing it back to the old schools learning and I LOVE it! I have watched my daughter flourish!

I loved this school. Some negative perspectives, but I always think it depends on the teachers. My kid was so blessed to have a teacher who has a master's in an organization. She is very responsible and communicates well with her parents. This school used to be school rate 8 but recently changed to 4. I can not believe why it's below the average. No PTA but I can use the time and money for a different thing. Meals are at no charge because this school is participating in CEP.

Not a great elementary school. The building is a nice building and well maintained but teachers and staff are lacking. No family events, no PTA, no awards for children. Office staff seem rude. I think its just the area of Virginia Beach maybe. Its not the best part of VB. You also have children who cant read being pushed through in this school. Bayside didnt do well with virtual learning either. I think they allow children to miss a ton of school and then they come back missing learning days. Would not recommend this school.

Military family here! We moved in 2019 and my child started at this school a couple days after school started in the Fall. The office staff is horrible and RUDE. No PTA, which tells you something and the teachers are average. The school is beautiful though. Pretty new and has tons of potential. I just think the staff overall isn't too great and that makes a difference. We switched my so out of this school once we closed on our new house and left the old rental. That area of Virginia Beach isn't the best so if you can get away from this particular area, I recommend it.
