Top school in SCPS! The administration, teachers, and staff genuinely care about each child.

After visiting the new Anne E. Moncure Elementary school, we were quite impressed with the school principle, teachers and the schools collective resources available for the children. Nothing but great things to say about the level of effort and commit of the school and their collective staff. Our son is on his 2nd year at Anne E. Moncure Elementary and he's doing quite well. We would highly recommend this school.

This school was fine until the pandemic and online schooling started. Now, no matter how many times I contact everyone about the bullying going on with my son, they ignore it. The female P.E teacher also loves to scream at kids over minor things and encourages the other kids to do the same as well.

Excellent! As a parent, one of my greatest concerns is that my child is receiving a good education. As a military family, my child has to move frequently which compounds those concerns. Moncure staff put those concerns to rest from the very first interaction after relocating to Virgina which was our 4th move and 3rd school for my second grader.

This school is an incredible learning family. You feel it as you walk the halls, work with kids teachers, and see your child talk about it. We are truly blessed to be Moncure's Bears!!

While crowding has become an issue in later years, I find this school to continue to be one of the very best in the area. The care and concern that the staff has for each student is amazing. I will say, they can only do so much. If your child is struggling and you don't get involved when they reach out to you, their hands can often be tied. Get in there, volunteer when you can, stay involved. Be an integral part of your child's learning experience.

Anne E Moncure has some of the most amazing teachers and staff!!Because we have had to move a lot, I've dealt with quite few elementary schools with my two older boys. Every school was the same, they were nice but I felt my kids were invisible to them and they didn't care if my boys struggled in their work just as long as they pass, I even had one school completely ignore me when I reached out to the principle with concerns. After all the other elementary schools leaving a bad taste in my mouth, I was hesitant and terrified when I had to enroll my last child who was academically behind, suffering with awful anxiety and very low self-esteem. I needed a teacher who was patient, kind, uplifting, understanding and able to find his learning style. I thought what was needed for my son to be happy and successful at school was impossible to get. I had many, many, sleepless nights crying, thinking no teacher is going to give my son the attention he needs. My son is in his second year at Moncure now and the expectations that I thought were unattainable were not only met but exceeded by his teachers!!! I hope the staff I have had the pleasure dealing with never forget how important they are and how grateful I am for them. They helped my son in so many ways, and gave me the peace of mind I so badly needed and prayed for.Forever grateful, Haley

I am a parent of 3 children at Moncure Elementary. I also substitute teach there as well. I can not think of a reason why this would not be rated a 9 or 10 on Great Schools. It is about the nicest place one could send a child! The students are kind, the front office, nurse and staff are excellent. My girls come home happy nearly every day. Moncure has high standards and the children are taught according to the State of Virginia standards. There is an acceptable amount of homework - not too much and not too little in my opinion. Obviously this may differ by teacher but we have had six teachers now and I feel they are pretty consistent throughout. The teachers here truly care about the student's success and work hard to provide a loving and nurturing learning environment. There are wonderful opportunities for your children to be involved in extracurricular after school activities as well. Come check it out and you will be happy you did!

My daughter is in Kindergarten at this school. I am happy with the information she is learning as well as her reading level. I volunteer on Thursdays and I am pleased with the Principal and staff. There are many after school programs offered for math, science, and reading. My child's art work is very advanced and she always has a library book to read. I am very happy with this school.

We were not happy at this school. There are most definitely a few teachers (Kindergarten) who are not fit to be teachers and lack the qualities a parent would want around their children. We just moved from this school and are happy we did. The principal is very nice but the teachers do not try to challenge the smarter kids. The school is very old and sits right up next to the busy main road.

I can't submit enough about Moncure Elementary. The Principal, Teachers, Staff, and our PTO do so much to keep our school great. Teachers (and Principal) are approachable and work with parents to ensure that our children succeed. The school is a little on the older side but full of passion for learning and teaching. You know you have a great school when your children come home excited about what they did at school that day and when your oldest can transfer into Middle School easily.

We absolutely love Moncure! I have a kindergartener and a first grader; we could not be happier. I volunteer frequently and love the friendly office staff. My girls have two very different personalities and they were wonderfully placed with great teachers! I love that the principal comes to every event and out daily to talk to parents and students.

Nice people (parents, teachers, and staff) but is overcrowded. 700 students is too many for the number of special needs and challenged children this school has. This site lost my comphensive review of the school. Surrounded by too many businesses and too little green area. Library is too small for normal library activities. PE has 50 students per class. Music is understaffed and lacks some reasonable equipment to do more than introduce children to music.

Moncure is an excellent school, my kids just finished the 5th grade and I feel that this school has done a wonderful job preparing my children for the sixth grade. Thanks to all the Staff and Teachers

Moncure Elementary is a FABULOUS school which offers multiple tools and effective ways for our children to learn. Its a very parent friendly environment, even the Principal takes the time to meet and greet everyone. My son LOVES the school and so far has liked every teacher there. I am shocked to see such a low rating for this school. Its not accurate and parents should evaluate themselves before they ridicule other kids at the school. Kids behavior has a lot to do with parenting, don't blame the school b.c. your kid was disciplined or dealt with other types of personalities at the school. MONCURE IS AWESOME!
