Dogwood Elementary School Reviews


Posted By: parent Quality Score: 1 2008-06-25 “This school is a nightmare! The teachers and principal are great. However, this school is substandard in every other way. It is a horrible situation that this school is the only option we have. There are major problems due to the number of non-English speaking students which slows everyone else behind. There is a significant clash of cultures, no out-of-school interaction. We had to switch our kids out of this school in fear of their safety and the quality of the education. Now we are stuck paying private school tuition. The only hope that we have is that they will redistrict! This is the worst school in the county!” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 1 2008-06-04 “Well, these last updates are older and my child was not enrolled during this time. However, this is one of the worst schools in the entire Fairfax County Public School system. I say that not only as a parent of a child who attended there, but with input from 3 separate Fairfax County School Teachers. I have two friends with children that attended kindergarten the same year my child did. The material that their children learned in the beginning of the year, my son was learning towards the end of the year. They have no interest whatsoever in assisting children with special needs. Fairfax County has some wonderful schools (so I have heard) but this is definitely not one of them.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2005-11-04 “For the past 11 years, at least one of my children has attended Dogwood Elementary. We've endured bad press, a devastating fire and 3 Principals. I have been a Dogwood supporter all these years. I am involved and often in the building, so I see first hand what goes on there. My kids continue to perform well above average on tests like the SOL's. My oldest child was well prepared and continues to do well in challenging IB courses offered at South Lakes High School. We love Dogwood's diversity. I consider it the best kept secret in Reston!” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2004-10-15 “We're very happy with our child's progress here. The teachers are wonderful and the principal has received national recognition for her leadership. She's implemented a wonderful system whereby students receive the level of services they need. We're one of the only Title 1 schools in FC to have a gifted and talented instructor -- we won't have to send our son out of our neighborhood for him to be challenged appropriately.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2003-08-07 “Dogwood is an excellent school. The building is brand new because of a fire in 2000 in which the entire building was gutted. Students were sent to 3 differrent schools in 2000 and 2001. This affected test scores in those years.”
