Shrevewood Elementary School

As a former student, I can say that it really truly is a great place to be.

Overall, I appreciated the fact that I had reliable teachers to count on when I need help. However, I did not appreciate the fact that I was treated differently from others based on my work ethic and behavior. I do admit that I never started going to this school from kindergarten and the fact that I came from a school that was not affiliated with FCPS was a challenge for me personally because I never had this experience. As a result, I was treated differently and was put to blame by teachers and having to suffer consequences that never applied to me during my first year. I also have a sibling who attended this school and was assigned to one of the teachers who made my first year as a student at Shrevewood a living nightmare. He was also treated horribly by this teacher due to the fact that he was related to me by blood. I do remember one day when he came up to me and mentioned about this teacher telling him that I was a “really bad troublemaker”. At first, I laughed it off, but internally, I was appalled by the fact that she even mocked me and assumed that it was appropriate to say that to my sibling who was only a second-grader at this school. If I wasn’t treated this way, along with my sibling, I would have admitted that being a student at this school was the best thing I have ever had as a child. Instead, I was verbally abused and taken advantage of based on my characteristics as a student.

I would say the school is great. Most years there have been one or more "new English speakers" in the class. The students and teachers take great pride in helping them become part of the class and school and help them adjust. It is a diverse school that is doing great in spite of being overcrowded and having older facilities.

Worst school I had ever been to!!I am a teacher and I know exactly what the expectations are. I have four kids in shrevewood and my kids had been in three schools before, so this one is the worst one by far!They have a serious communication issue! they don't respond to emails and don't return phone calls although I had recorded a voice mail more than once to the teachers. I had a teacher who forgot about our conference that was scheduled a month ago!!
