Have had three kids go to this school and all of them received a wonderful elementary education. They not only tested well on all standardized tests, but were each incredibly well-prepared for challenging middle school curriculums. We had wonderful experiences with the teachers and staff who all care very deeply about their students. The administration has always been first rate as well. There is LOT of parent involvement at Bond Mill, from both moms, dads, and grandparents. The PTO is very active and provides a lot of supplemental educational and community-building activities. Wonderful gem of an elementary school! Our kids were lucky to go there!

It is with a heavy heart that I am withdrawing my soon-to-be 5th grader from Bond Mill Elementary due to moving to our new home. I lived in Fairfax County before and my then first-grade daughter attended Fort Hunt, a great Spanish Immersion school. I was reluctant to transfer my daughter to a PG School.I'm writing this review to say that I couldn't have been more wrong in my hesitation. I'm simply blown away by Bond Mill Elementary, the principal, Mr. Fitzgerald, and his amazing, incredible staff. They say that morale is determined by the leadership. This couldn't be more true. My daughter has excelled in every sense due to the firm, gentle, but loving pushes from her teachers. She's a straight A student, a viola playing drama kid who enjoys physical activity and being a good friend to others. The one time she had issues with behavior, their counselor quickly intervened and all was resolved immediately. My daughter LOVES school, she loves learning, and she is proud of her accomplishments. BOND MILL DID THAT!The fact that Principal Fitzgerald knows my daughter's name along with mine and that of ALLLLLL the children speaks to his love of 'his' kids and school. He works hard and his resilience and never-ending sense of humor serve him well. I've also never seen better parent participation. Teachers encourage heavy parent involvement which helps eliminate communication issues. If your child is stronger or weaker in any area of learning, the teachers will be sure to put them on the best learning track for them, truly individualizing the learning experience.Though we are leaving Bond Mill, I hope that my review of this school will help sway you if you are on the fence. I promise you won't regret it. They set the bar SKY HIGH.

Excellent! The principal is the best we've dealt with after the military causing my son to go to 3 elementary schools.

My child started in kindergarden and is now in 5th. I often say that if all the schools in PG county could imitate Bond Mill we would have an excellent school system
