This school was where I went as a kid, and to me, it was the best school I went to.This school taught me really well and I have always loved going to the school as a little kid.Definitely 5 stars for such a great school! Close Quote

My children both attended Clermont and enjoyed a well-rounded education with caring and dedicated teachers. I am now on staff at Clermont and find it to be a place where I am encouraged to be creative, accountable, and always student-centered. I have taught in many schools in my long career, and this is one of the best. The focus is on the whole child. Technology, rigor, and 21st century skills are integrated throughout the curriculum. There is a great emphasis on character development. Children are encouraged to participate in instrumental music, and every child receives instruction in the fine arts and foreign language (Chinese). We work to meet each child where he/she is and take them as far as they wish to go. The hugely supportive community makes our mission possible. As a community of stakeholders, we can do anything!

We are moving our child to another school next year. The class sizes are too large. The county has cut the teaching assistants. It makes for a chaotic, learning environment. Due to lack of appropriate supervision, injuries and bullying are a problem. The county guidelines for discipline are loosely enforced by the administration. The extreme focus on SOLs and memorizing facts is unfortunate. Close Quote

As you can see this Elementary school is rated #14 in the state out of over 1000 schools. Not only does this school provide a great education, but we have lived in the neighborhood in which this school is located and it is one of the best locations in the DC area with lots of really nice families and children. Secluded, safe and full of young working professionals who put a premium on raising their children in a great community/family environment. Close Quote
