The standard of education is very poor. Our children were not allowed to read until 2nd grade. This alone makes it hard for your child to get into any other school if you try to leave this school. I do not recommend this school to anyone.It's been BEYOND PATHETIC for our family.

My daughter is in her second year at the Richmond Waldorf School. We have had nothing but extremely…read morepositive experiences with the school and the school community. What drew me to RWS was their philosophy around educating the whole child. The skills that children learn in a Waldorf program are designed to build a healthy, educated whole individual. You can teach a child very specific skills at any school. Waldorf is helping to develop and nurture children's natural curiosity which is something that can't be found in a textbook. A curious child that is nurtured becomes a life long learner. Not everyone is familiar with the Waldorf education and it's fundamentals.

When my daughter came back home several weeks into her freshman year, she said, "I'm so grateful I went to Veritas. I know how to think and am prepared for college." There is an emphasis on critical thinking, rhetoric, and Latin. We have made a lot of great friends from the parent community.

GW CARVER IS BY FAR THE WORST SCHOOL MY CHILD HAS BEEN TO. Do NOT try to get into this school zone just because great schools dot com rates it a 10 out of 10- because that's what I did. It has been a nightmare since day one. The face of GW Carver, Ms C. Plush, is the meanest woman with glasses I have ever had to interact with. She is not helpful and should not be the "face" of the school. She is rude and does not wish to be bothered with anything. She has the worst attitude I have ever seen in my life, so why she chose to deal with parents and children I will never understand. They serve garbage food like doughnuts every day. The bus has absolutely no consistency - some days my daughter is dropped off at 3:55pm, somedays she isn't dropped off til 4:30pm. So everyday day you are getting down there earlier and earlier and you start praying that nothing happened to your child when you see all these empty buses driving by. They allow the children to nap in class. They separate the boys and girls at the playground. I could go on and on but I think you see where I'm going with this. The school is a joke. This is a warning to stay out of this district if you want what's best for your child. Good luck!

My 7th grade child has THRIVED at Good Shepherd Episcopal School. We have been a part of the…read morecommunity since he was in kindergarten and could not have asked for a better education or more safe, nurturing, and familial environment. It's the most affordable fully-accredited (VAIS) school in Richmond. It offers all of the academics (including Spanish starting in kindergarten) as well as a diverse range of extra-curricular classes and activities. Perhaps most importantly, there is a maximum class size of fifteen. The average class size is ten, the ideal for maximizing individual attention. You would be remiss were you not to research and visit Good Shepherd while shopping for your elementary and/or middle school child's perfect school home.

Their main counselor is horrible. She goes to elementary schools zoned for this school and gives a speech, that kids will feel welcome and be supported. This is not the case. She does not want to move a finger to help a student. If you have learning problems, no help, if your kids is super smart, it`s even worse.
