Stafford County Public Schools, Where do I start? Stanford County Public Schools are great in many…read moredifferent ways. They protect there students as mush as they can and take as much time needed to make sure every students needs are fulfilled.

If you're new to the area and curious about Stafford Elementary, this school has exceeded my…read moreexpectations. My children are valued citizens and not just a number or "another student." I am beyond pleased with the staff and parents I've encountered. I've always struggled between public and private education for my children, but as long as they're in SES. I'm comfortable with the level of care and education they're receiving.

They have a lot substitute teachers that floats, maybe they have teacher shortage issues. They are…read morepunitive to students at times I'm thinking maybe they work in the system to earn a pay check and retirement benefits but not really care about the kids! It is easy for them to just push the child in the corner, teachers complains a lot and sends out email if the class is noisy or "unruly", that's classroom management! They want us to talk to our kids when we are not even there to witness what happened! Show us the video on how teachers managed their classroom then I'll talk to my kids. The bus/transportation seems to be a huge problem too. If the kids get left behind even if they will circle around they won't stop for those kids. These people have no "mercy", not to mention that some kids have to wake up 4:45am because they'll be pick up at 5:15am when the school started! I have to complain that it is too early and I have to complain again and again and again before they got tired of me and changed it! Run away from Stafford if you could - school system not the greatest!

The principal at Winding Creek elementary leaves little to be desired. Didn't get the feeling that…read morechildren were the first priority. Seemed like appearances and making sure the school "looks" good take priority. After speaking to some teachers and parents I think I will look for another school.

This school is... something. As a student currently attending, it's just not a good environment…read more The kids in eighth grade don't exactly know how to behave and then get mad when they get in trouble and get referrals. I have some teachers I do like and there are a few kids that actually treat me like a person, but other than that the kids here will judge you for anything. You're LGBTQ? You're getting bullied. You like anime? You're probably getting bullied. You like k-pop and not Tyler, the Creator? Idk you're probably getting bullied for that too Anyway uhhhh shout to the kids and teachers that are nice to me To the kids that annoy me every day (which is most of them) i hate you

(Yes, I have posted this on Google also. I just need to make sure people really see.)…read moreOne star only because I have met really nice people here who I can call my best friends. I'm writing this review because this school is horrible, a lot of the students are just terrible human beings who think they are entitled to behave however they want. They are labeled "popular" because they are just straight up bullies to people who are "weird" or different from them. I'd also like to mention that these brats are favorited by many staff including the administrators. A genuine terrible human being could do one good thing and they'd be rewarded like crazy, all of the attention on them while the good kids get left in the dust. This has happened more than two times. The past three years I have spent here felt like hell and I am glad Im never coming back. I won't miss this school in the slightest. Edit: A lot of the kids here are plain dumb also. Some of the teachers don't know how to teach (Ahem, a certain math teacher in the 8th grade). I had to teach myself for most of the year, that's why my math grades have been lacking. Back onto the topic of dumb children, this school is infested with them. All they do is sit on their phone with their ear buds, then they get all surprised and mad when they fail. Since they are so dumb, they can't seem to grasp the idea of getting in trouble. They all respond with the same "What did I do?!". (The thing they did was be loud, knock down chairs, and be on their phone.)

So we just moved to Stafford & both my children were coming from Hollin Meadows Elementary but my…read moredaughter is in 2nd grade & my son is in 6th grade! That means he's going to middle school and she stays in elementary... So I actually visited back in January, I was greeted & treated with respect (which was really nice) everyone was kind, happy and actually had us excited for my daughter to start! So last week I dropped off all the paperwork to enroll my daughter except for a lease or deed & 2 bills in my name @ my address & I was actually in & out pretty quickly! (It definitely didn't take as long as it did to enroll my son!) Only thing that bothered me really, was when we were coming out of the bathroom there was a teacher in the hallway with a male student, about 5th grade or so I believe, with a teacher & there was obviously a problem that happened in the class which the teacher had removed the students because of! What bothered me was while the teacher was talking or going over the disciplinary action that was going to be taken she had her hands on the student sort of grabbing his upper arms & the kid was yelling @ the teacher! When we got back into the office there were 2 other students who I assumed were part of or the cause of the disruption because one boy had tears steadily running down his face & the other boy was yelling at the office lady trying to tell her what happened! It was at this point I thought to myself that it must have been really bad & after whatever happened the teacher did the right thing by separating the kids & they obviously don't know how to act because my children would NEVER yell at a staff member at their school none the less disrespect an adult or a class mate! So I immediately felt differently after seeing the bigger picture! Once that was over we were given the rest of information on what to expect with the enrollment & then we were good to go! I went back the next day to drop off the deed & even though it was the end of the day on a Friday we were helped pretty quickly to get the copies made & was given a 30 day extension on getting the 2 bills in my name @ my new address! All in all my daughter hasn't even started the school yet & I already love it! I just hope there are no bullies here but honestly I've heard nothing but good things about this school so I really hope that we didn't get our hopes up for nothing! Once she's been there for a month or so I can update my review!

Great school. Amazing teachers that stay connected with the parents. Love it !read more
