This school has been rated a 10 most years. I had a fantastic experience here with my child. The staff and community here is extremely involved to a level you will not find at almost any other school in Virginia Beach.

Overall, I'm quite surprised at how many great reviews this school has because unfortunately I don't recall having any support whatsoever. The Principal? Ha! good luck you can barely get a hold of her and I know she can be busy however, her administration staff is terrible. Everyone is super old and there needs to be new faces with new energy. Everyone in the office just has the same "ugh" mood and face expression. I would hope things change here but this is what happens when you put the wrong people in charge and not help you with your issues with this school.

I have had my children at this school for ten years now, starting when my now high-schooler was in Kindergarten! I feel incredibly lucky to have been able to send them to this school. The campus is beautiful and clean, the teachers genuinely care for each student, the curriculum is top notch and implemented in a fun way so students are not confined to a table and chair all day long. I’ve refused to move over the years because I feel Strawbridge is the best school in the area after discussing various educational factors with friends who have children at neighboring schools. Parents are always kept up-to-date with any changes and I feel very included in my children’s education. I highly recommend this school.

The special education Dept . Is bad , they follow students ieps . When they get could with not following a students IEP they Lie about it and try to cover them selves . Admin isn’t there in anyway to help the parents at all !!! They hide behind the builders closed doors and don’t ever call you back about the IEP matter !!!

My son came to Strawbridge in 5th grade and has had a great experience. We were worried about moving and changing schools but he has wonderful teachers and great friends. So happy we had such a great experience.

We adore this school! As a teacher myself, I was not sure what to expect from my son's first year in school. I could not be happier with his experience!

My daughter is leaving Strawbridge this week for middle school. We have had the absolute best experience and I am actually heartbroken to leave this school. Every teacher has loved and cared for each student as if they were their own. The teachers not only teach the curriculum but place so much value on kindness, respect and exploration in the classroom. My child was encouraged throughout her time at SES to learn in various ways and her thoughts and ideas were always valued. The principal may be the nicest lady I’ve ever met with a constant smile and genuine concern for each student. Every person employed there has been so nurturing and wonderful and I am so grateful for our time at Strawbridge.

I am writing this after my son has finished his kindergarten year at Strawbridge and I could not have been more pleased with our experience. The staff is so kind and helpful and made my son's first year a great year. I felt that his teacher truly saw his talents and abilities, and his opportunities, and taught him accordingly. We are so excited to start another school year at Strawbridge, and look forward to many more!

Strawbridge is an outstanding school with dedicated and talented staff and teachers who really go all out to make sure the kids get the best grade school education possible. My son's teachers have done a wonderful job of identifying his strengths and weaknesses and worked with him on how to always improve. Can't recommend this school enough.
