We really like the teachers at this school. They're a dedicated staff that works hard to make learning fun. I love that they have gym every day as well as a rotation of art, music, library, and technology. They also teach coding starting in kindergartners. All in all we've been very happy with the education our daughter has gotten at this school.

The homework usually involves reading with your child. Any additional homework is kept to a minimum and reviews what was learned in class.

Our experience has been wonderful with the teachers. They care about the students and work hard to make learning fun.

The school implements a PBIS system that rewards and reinforces positive behaviors. They work hard to make sure the kids are kind and respectful.

The two teachers for my boys do care for students a lot and understand their needs. Speech/behavioral therapists and other staff are very caring as well. For us, the school bus driver lady is very nice, as well. I am very thankful to them for going extra care.

My boys get a lot of homework. During last winter (2017), the school closed for one day due to extreme weather condition. My boys had a lot of assignments for the day and submit the work via iPads provided by school.

P.E. everyday helps my boys a lot to use their energy. They get iPads and there are extra activities (dance night etc) that invite parents around 6PM or so. Overall I believe the leadership at the school is very effective.

For those who have difficulties following directions, they are given daily score in respect, safety, responsibility, etc. My boys never bullied others or were bullied by others, and in my opinion bullying is not a problem. But energetic boys in Pre-K might face some hard time/learning curve, following directions.

The principal is very uncaring and has no compassion towards students and families who are struggling. If you reach out to for help, she will get defensive and rebut everything greatly missing the point or question at hand. You walk away feeling degraded and belittled.

No. I feel they reward Bad Behavior and ignore those stuggling to learn. When a child is bored because they already know the material their solution is to sign them up for Saturday school rather help devolp a plan for that student. I also feel if a kid is struggling because they do not understand they pass the student on to the next grade even if they do not get the current grade material

I had to withdrawal my son from this school. It was terrible. My son was being bullied and I had meeting with the principal and Vice Principal but NOTHING was ever done. I witnessed a student push another student down to the ground on purpose in front of a teacher and she did NOTHING. On another occasion I witnessed a student throw a tantrum because he wasnt getting his way only to watch the teacher reward the bad behavoir. There were MANY other things I witnessed with my own eyes that were very disturbing. I came to the conclusion that the staff at Spaulding reward Bad Behavior and do NOT take bullying serious enough. This school NEEDs to work on Bullying in the school and on the Bus along with not rewarding Bad Behavior

Spaulding is a wonderful and nurturing school. We have had other children go through other primary schools in the area and Spaulding is the best! They really care about their kids.

LOVE SPAULDING. Great staff, dedicated. My son is finishing up his kindergarten year. They worked very well with him seeing he had a problem listening. He really loves his school and the friends he's made. One of the qualities we love is How diverse the school is. There is a wide range of students from all different bsckgrounds.

Dedicated staff and warm nurturing environment. Has an early childhood / early learning program for qualifying students that is top notch.

I was extremely impressed with the teachers and staff. We recently moved to a very highly rated school district in VA and my daughter is at the top of her class. She was very well prepared at Spaulding.
