I would give it a 3.5 out of 10! The front desk staff is TERRIBLE, teachers are decent, and the principal is a delight. Overall Im not too impressed. They need to keep the above average childs mind active and not fail to cater to their needs.

My child gets a packet of homework that is only 2 pages of very simple things to do. A simple reading log that requests no actual proof that they read and understood the story at home. Im very underwhelmed with the homework aspect.

Teachers here are just okay. Not great but not terrible.

It is something they try to do but fall short on. My child continues to be bullied for being too smart and shy.

As stated before my child is bullied and nothing has been done to render the issue.

My child absolutely loves Guilford and so do I! Everyone is 110% dedicated to the students. I always feel welcome.

I really have enjoyed my 3 children attending this school for the last 2 years. The administration is very proactive about making sure parents are involved and the children's needs are supported. They have after school clubs for 4th & 5th graders, community outreach events like Thanksgiving dinner and other ways in which I have vbeen invited to interact with the staff and community. The children are diverse but my kids have not had problems with other children and have made a lot of friends. The teachers they have had have all really cared about my children's well being and education. They even order all the school supplies for each child for only $10 each year! My children have also attended 2 fairfax county schools and Guilford has been my favorite!
