My daughter is going to Virginia Road and she loves it. The school work is very challenging and the teachers are great w/ the kids. My daughters reading skills have become better. We are very happy with this school.

My Daughter started Kindergarten here at the beginning of this school year 12/13. I will say the class size is smaller than most other schools out there, 20 children with 2 teachers in the class. The academic standards are quite high, which is a good thing. If I had one complaint it's that there needs to be a little bit more free/play time for the young kids. My daughter has progressed quite nicely as have many of her classmates.

My daughter entered VRES in Kindergarten and just finished the 1st grade. Teacher involvement here is exemplary as is the inclusion of parent partcipation - it is strongly encouraged. From Special People day to Parent's Appreciation day and all other occasions in between. The school is diverse from the students to administrators. The time and care the teachers take in teaching and CARING for the child and their well being is exceptional. Having particpated in as many of the events in school as I could I have seen first hand the work and effort put forth by everyone at this school! They have Letter journals weekly. Drawing journals to encourage creativity and music class. Their literacy program is exceptional and I am happy to have my daughter attend and I am looking forward to enrolling my son next year.

Sad to hear these comments as I think VRES is a great school. You can be involved as much as you'd like. Yes, it does tend to be busy in the morning however as a working parent I welcome that. The school is excellent and does have afterschool activities such as Scouts and Clubs to attend. Even with the larger classrooms my child excelled and loved going to school each and every day. Involvement is up to you. It s there -- you just have to sign up. Our child graduates this year and I for one will be sad to say goodbye. Great faculty enriched learning environment what more can you ask for?

We are so excited that the school year is coming to an end. I now understand the benefits of private education. Large class sizes here with very little involvement allowed from the parents and just a very rushed feeling from the school, from the fellow parents honking in the parking lot to get you moving a little faster in the mornings. Very little sense of community and no after school activities
