Coming from a more urban district in southeast VA. Very satisfied. My daughter did well last year in sixth grade, but this year in 7th, has truly blossomed as a student. She loves the school and has had supportive, dedicated teachers so far. Close Quote

Do not send your children to this school. The system is broken and it starts with the principal Mr. Ellena and goes down to the teachers. They lie about incidents, bully the children verbally and demean them in front of their peers. If you want your child to be a bully by all means send them to this school so they can learn from the best in Chesterfield County School Bully Department. If your child is a pacifist and taught not to fight or strike back then BEWARE. Close Quote
