Achilles Elementary School

My son has been an Achilles Student since Kindergarten. He was a preemie and had a learning disability. We didn't think he would ever be able to read on appropriate level. The staff at Achilles had him on level within 2 years of his IEP. He leaves for and comes home from school excited and full of stories of his great day. Best teachers around . The entire staff at this school is exceptional!

The staff and teachers at Achilles are wonderful. I have a child with special medical and educational needs and they have bent over backwards to ensure my child is set up in the best learning environment with 100% support.

My daughter has gone to Achilles for the last 2 years. She is in the ipop preschool program. Ms.Lynette and Ms.Julie are wonderful teachers who care deeply about the progress of the students. She has learned so much and truly loves going to school to learn. All of the staff is friendly and polite. The principal makes an extra effort to greet each child and show them the attention they deserve. She starts kindergarten next year and I expect she will continue to have a fantastic experience!

My son has gone to Florida schools K-2, another VA school for 3rd grade and started Achilles in the 4th grade. He has always been a smart kid but has had many behavior issues due to ADHD, Asbergers and Anxiety. Achilles is the first school he has gone to that he has not had ANY problems. I feel it is because of the smaller student body, teachers and principals know each kid by name, and it is obvious that this team of staffers truely love and care about each and every students success! He is now going into the 5th grade at Achilles and I am confident he will have another great year! I just pray middle school will be the same!
