I cannot say enough great things about this school, teachers, staff, parents, PTA and students! My children attended for two years and we had such an excellent experience. We were truly sad to leave all these great people. The teachers really make this school special! From special trips to CW, the strawberry festival and special musical programs this school has it all! They all put so much work into making this a special place! 5 stars for MWES!!

This school is actually pretty awesome! It's really old but kept and good condition, teachers are nice, and they teach you real nice for the SOLs and middle school. Since it was built for a high school, the school has lockers! I found it very relaxing and I felt smart when I went there.

This is a beautiful, unique school with lots of history located in Historic Williamsburg. Teachers and staff are very caring. My daughter has attended 3rd and 4th grade at this school and she says "This is the best school ever". They make learning fun !The communication between the teachers and the parents is great. This school also offers after school activities for the students on certain days and consistently provides opportunity for advanced education.This school is a 5 star!! Definitely a great school!~!!!
