Samuel P. Massie Academy

I'm so glad i'm out this school. I've been a student a Samuel p massie for 10 years. As a student it was very hard. The teachers didn't give me help that i needed, they judged me and others, I was bullied a lot , and had so many problems with other kids and the principal did nothing but talk about the situation and let it go but things got worse ,Then some teachers and the principal had favoritism for the bullies because they liked their character or the way they are. Theres lot of fights after school and in school, I felt like teachers don't care they cursed and make fun of others and tell students personal business.Some of the teachers were nice and caring and helped me but not most of them.The events and talent shows and pep rallies and field trips are fun but everything else i didn't like.The school needs new teachers and a better principal and a better security.

Samuel P. Massie Academy was an excellent school and enjoyable learning environment. I'll never forget the many relationships I made with the staff and students of the academy. I was a student of Massie from Kindergarten to 5th grade and own my success to the school. The teachers greatly care for the education of the students and assist them in reaching their true potential. They allow students to feel comfortable enough to come out of their shells and really become involved in their studies. I've become a better student and person due to their tremendous educational system, taking highschool math and science classes and ap human geography courses as an eighth grader. The preforming arts were also very exceptional; the talents of students never being ignored. It was a truly delightful experience.

I love this school. I feel as though that my son has leaned a a lot since he has been here. He has improved his language and math skills and I feel as though the teachers are doing a great job. The staff there are very nice and pleasant.

This is my child's second year at this school. And I must say I'm extremely disappointed. Please note that I've had experience with Charles county and fairfax county public schools. Compared to the other schools Samuel Massie is below sub par. Teaching staff has a high turnover rate ( my child had 3 teachers in 5 th grade before the end if the 1st qtr)administrative/teaching staff are not helpful in person or over the phone. Kids aren't guided off the school grounds safely. They aren't required to read nightly and homework is minimal. Unless there's school wide testing coming up. Even school registration was an extreme hassle. It's a terrible disservice to have to send your children here. I cannot wait to be able to move to another area.
