For almost four years now, my two children have been attending this school, and I truly believe it is the best school. The students are wonderful, the teachers are dedicated and caring, and the overall environment is so positive. I have seen how much my children have grown, not only in their learning but also in their confidence and character.
One of the things I appreciate the most is the way the principal takes the time to follow up on any concerns or issues that students may have. It shows how much the school truly values the well-being and success of every child. The teachers are also always supportive, approachable, and willing to give their best to help each student succeed.
As a parent, it gives me great peace of mind to know my children are in such a safe and nurturing place where they are encouraged to learn, grow, and become their best selves. This school has been a blessing for my family, and I am very thankful for the hard work and dedication of the entire staff.

My kids where re-zoned here from Mill Run Elementary and I couldn't be happier. The principal is so great, everyone at the school is really friendly, the school is so nice and beautiful. They are very responsive. The school is great at communicating everything in a timely manner to parents and creating fun and creative events to keep the whole community engaged. My kids loved it here!

This school is amazing, staff takes great pride in maintaining the facilities, creating a welcoming and conducive learning environment for all students.
From the principal to the admissions office, everyone we've encountered has been friendly and approachable. The warm smiles and greetings make us feel like a valued part of the school community. ItÂ’s reassuring to know that my child is in the hands of dedicated and caring professionals.
I hope they can keep up the fantastic work.

Great environment! Teachers and principal, Mr. Pellegrino are awesome in keeping the parents included in the school activities and communications. Admin staff always respond and support with patience and a smile which is usually rare! My daughter loves her school.

We have been at 3 different elementary schools in Loudoun over the years and while all were good schools, Waxpool is BY FAR the best. The attention and care our children received from Mr. Pellegrino and the talented pool of teachers he was able to assemble really proved to us that this is the flagship elementary school of Loudoun County and the rest of the county should model their methods after this school. Full PBL integration was something we were excited about and it has been a joy to watch and see it in place.
