This school honors the Bay Colony family legacies and forgets about the less privileged students. I…read morewas a student here and I was farther behind than my public school counterparts. I would suggest not sending your child here as the teachers do not help the students. Even students with a hard working ethic fail to succeed at this school. The environment was very toxic, the staff was mostly mediocre, and the lunches were terrible (cold and nasty). The lunch staff once gave us raw chicken. Read that again, RAW chicken. There was mold in the theaters as well. For 30k a year, this is not worth it. Do better.

They have many extr-cirrular options and they also have before and after care. They are VERY AFFORDABLE for this area. I definitely recommend OVCA.

If the COVID-19 pandemic has taught us anything, it's who our kids are. As a parent my view of the…read moreschool will differ than that of my kid's. This relationship with Granby started in 2018 when we moved back to the area. Everyone knows that there are other areas that boast about their coveted school system but with each school it has its own set of variables to navigate. The interaction with some school personnel on what I think were typical things were made complicated and drawn out. For example, my kid had enough credits to graduate early but Norfolk Public Schools require Seniors to carry no less than 6 classes. So to our chagrin he was saddled with classes that made him a seat filler. All schools have shenanigans. Parents, that's where you come in. Some of it is shenanigans learned from rule breaking parents with a disregard for authority so at times it trickles down. Happy to say that I had no incidents with my child and school officials. As a matter of fact, shout out to Dr. Byrdsong who personally assisted me with items in the most professional and efficient manner. My kudos to all the teachers who continue to go above and beyond to push students to their full capabilities. Ms. Patton, Ms. Diaz were supportive and genuinely displayed positive attitudes and got things done. In a building that is outdated and confined by budget cuts learning does occur. Here's your Granby fun fact, did you know that the actor Grant Guston (CW's The Flash) attended this school? Yup, you can go on to do great things if you put your mind to it. An overall 3.75 star review due to the age of the building, amenities and communication challenges.

How can a school that advertises as catering to children with learning differences possibly…read moreaccommodate those children when they have zero emotional support (they advertise this) and can't even handle children who cry under stress? The teacher my son encountered during their unnecessarily cruel admissions process was mean to her students. They did nothing to try to get to know my son, but expected him to attend two full days of school and then refused him admission when his learning disabilities and the stress of a mean teacher made him cry. My son is a lovely and bright boy. Steer clear of this school and definitely do your homework.

This school was the worst thing to ever happen to my child. My child came from a different…read morevirginia beach school district(town center area). He went from being recommended to gifted programs, making straight A, and having so many teacher praise him for his manners... to moving to bayside area and experienced bullying, suspensions, and expulsion. I informed the school of his bullies and they did nothing. Instead this school sat them together and allowed them to fight. Then my child was expelled for defending himself. They've suspended him for failing a test, sharpening his pencil, talking during free time. The list goes on. This school has an outrageous amount of suspensions and expulsion compared to other schools in the area. After realizing that this school has sent my entire neighborhood of kids to alternative school within a year...I've decided to contact the board and media to launch an investigation. This school has ruined my child's reputation
