    To help Future generations of students who are forced to attend public school:…read more Other than the cellphone policy this school is pretty good, but the lunch food isn't great but THE MOTZERELLA STICKS ARE SO GOOD!!! Every school in Fairfax county has to abide by the cell phone policy and I find it problematic because listening to music helps me focus and Spotify is blocked on the computers and Pandora has too many ads. Most kids are nice and the teachers try, not all of them are perfect but they do their jobs. I am looking back at horror stories from when they were renovating this place so I'm glad we're not going through that anymore! One of my teachers let me make the seating chart because she didn't want to. I don't like the metal detectors, according to the school news paper 77% of kids think that they don't improve safety. But not really something I can control they have them at all secondary schools in Fairfax. (Or at least are trying to). One of my friends backpacks keeps going off because it has metal attached to it so they get stopped every morning. There is a crowd for everyone here and it is genuinely one of the best schools I've attended. The staff is wonderful and my councilor is wonderful. They have a lot of programs and even though the classes are stressful because Fairfax... they can be really fun. If you find an unblocked game website you're good to go! A lot of people who were students come back as teachers because they enjoyed it, might see me as a teacher here in a few years, not quite sure what I want to be though. If it were up to me, I would remove the SOLS but I can't do that. All and all this is a pretty nice school--just don't mind the random red goop on the ceiling in the language bathroom that's been there for a year, we don't know what that is, might be an alien not gonna lie. (There's a lot of smoking but it's easy to avoid). --Josie 10th grd

Also it's overcrowded and the halls regularly come to a standstill multiple times a day. I thought I might miss the place when I graduated, but I loathe this school nearly two years later. I only hope my generation can fix the mess you all made of the school system. Grow as a community and try to think what it's like being a young adult treated this way before your students resent you more than they already do.

    My child has been going to this school for a while now. For the most part the school is what you…read morecall an authentic high school experience coming from out of town to from what we are originally used to. They have various clubs for students to engage in, the school is huge and Ms Rivera was very instrumental in making sure my child's transition to classes were smooth as well as promptly handling any issues related to academics. She was great and very professional ! My child is currently adjusting to the school well. I also love how there is a process dedicated to ensuring the safety of drivers and pedestrians but today was different. One of the security guys; not the elder looking one with the glasses but another one who usually directs the flow of traffic with him and is usually pleasant (look kind of like Steve Harvey, bald head) was not so pleasant today. Before today there are times when I payed attention to see that he has only been attentive to one side in regards to flow. Never said anything just used my driving skills. Today was a day I had to look both ways as I usually do then look ahead to see if I could go and because his attention was elsewhere. I saw that there was no traffic or students so I proceeded to go without his instruction and immediately I assume because I had shades on he thought that I wasn't paying attention. He was very rude and nasty and questioned my ability to see although I continued to be polite so after a while I disregarded EVERYTHING he said after because at this point you are arguing while children are trying to cross and drivers are leaving with their families. I took off my glasses to show you that I see you. He also went as far as to say that "if you have a problem my boss name is yadada Yadaaa ya". So I'm like ok. You are too comfortable giving me your boss name as if I'm not going to call and you're flat out yelling in the middle of you needing to focus on traffic. Immediately while driving home I gave a call to the head of security and he seemed to be receptive of my complaint. Hopefully before the security gets out of character next time he'll think twice and look both ways before he gets mad at a driver for exercising their discernment on whether to proceed against the road or not because I was in the right. At the end of the day no one was hurt or injured because the path was clear. You can't direct traffic and only pay attention to one side. Also as a person that deals with people on a day to day basis you should know how to bite your tongue get out of your personal feelings to ensure everyone is safe instead of arguing with me having students confused as to if they can cross or not because you are angry.

    This is a horriblw school. My children attend and their English department is a MESS. The teachers…read moreare incompetent and they don't even know proper, comma placement. Shouldn't an ENGLISH teacher know that??? They spend too much time on pointless busy work like annotating every page in every book they read and spend time on grammar??? In a pre ap class for 10th graders?? Ridiculous. They also have bad chicken tenders. Very dissapointing. One STAR!

    Unequivocally, my husband and I made the right choice when we selected Prince William Academy. They…read morechallenged our boys minds and nurture their hearts. The teachers go the extra mile to ensure that we were kept updated with their progress. Even using Classdojo and HiMama app. That came in very handy when my husband was away for work for several months. Our 3 yr old is counting in Spanish and singing in Chinese! We recently moved cross country and our 5 yr old was placed in 1st Grade. I credit the strong curriculum at PWA. They offer many afterschool activities. Our eldest played chess and Tennis. Our younger was in Dance. Just to name a few of the programs offered. Please stop by and check this school out. Speak to the families and you will hear great things. We miss this school very much.

    My review is to rebuttal the, what seems to be a gang up on PWA by a past employee. I mean Stevie…read moreWonder can see that. PWA is a great school. We have some of the best teachers I've ever seen. We do NOT do fast food, I bust my butt every day putting out homemade, healthy, well balanced meals. (Yes I am the chef). Of course, life happens and I might become ill and call out, but then and only then will PWA need to get something "fast". I personally take umbrage in what was written by "Martha J & A.J". These two are obviously out to trash PWA, and I say that it's a former employee because, there was information written that only the staff would know. They'd best be careful...untruths, and putting peoples last names our there is NOT cool. My experience at PWA for 5 years and counting is great. The staff work harder than ever to keep this place at the top out our game. All students here excel and none are bullied by staff. NONE, that's an out and out lie! I plan on being here until retire. Administration always has time to listen and fix any situation that arises. They expect us to go above and beyond, and I say, why not? Let's set a higher standard for education. All this being said, I am here defending the establishment that I have grown to love working for, and I appreciate them employing me!

    A team of caring and intelligent educators and leaders. We…read morehave been at The Springs for near a year now. We started the application process pre COVID and entered during the summer program which secured our slot for the fall, so my experience is limited to the Toddler Program (my child started at 22 months old) during the pandemic. For background, I have had my now toddler in a chain daycare (Kindercare) and a great in home daycare but those are true daycares vs a Montessori school so they are completely incomparable. I only have laudatory remarks about the professionalism and care of The Springs. Mr. Dan, The Head of School (HoS), and Ms. Katelyn the Assistant HoS are absolute leaders. Incredibly responsive to any request and communicative on all aspects of the school, I trust their judgment and appreciate all the efforts to remain operational during COVID. Our teacher Ms. Katelyn D., and her assistant teachers Ms. Belkin and Ms. Ethel are amazing with the children and my tot is THRIVING! I have sent emails late on a Friday or Saturday night to Ms. Katelyn D.,not expecting a response until the next working day, only to find a reply in my inbox within hours. Professional and dedicated, I feel a sense of team between the educators and parents as all focus is on the child. The Springs Montessori has me a true believer in the Montessori methods and although yes, it is more expensive than the other daycares my peace of mind for the well being of my child and results of my happy kiddo worth the price tag. Some perks: -A daily report of diaper changes/ what was eaten/ nap length so you can plan your evening -Catered lunches- no oops I forgot the lunch box on the table moments, such a time saver -Parent teacher conferences- yes for a TWO year old, it's awesome -Weekly photos of your child engaging in activities at school -virtual learning options -online portal to track your child's milestones and communicate on routine admin requirements Things to consider: -It's a school, not a day care, school schedules include seasonal breaks -when things get back to normal the kids wear a uniform, I love this but it does add cost -the parking lot is not great, it's busy! Between the parking lot and COVID mitigation, allot extra time for drop off/ pick up Bottom line- I love this school and my child loves this school too.

    Would not recommend. They were not very approachable and do not try to work with the parent. They…read morewould always call me wanting me to pick up my child, because they claimed my child had a tummy ache or was sick. Upon arrival my child was completely fine. I was told once my child had pink eye. After picking them up, my child's eyes were NORMAL. Took them to the pedi. just in case, and was told nothing was wrong with their eyes. Not worth the crazy amount of tuition they charge. Find somewhere else, you DO NOT GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR.
