Floris Elementary School

Poor. This is a substandard school. Communication is horrible.

We moved from Vienna to Discovery Square in 2015, we were little hesitant to move our kids to Floris Elementary school neighbourhood but now we feel moving to Discovery Square community and getting our kids enrolled in Floris School is the best decision we made.BEING TOO GOOD IS BAD: Only concern we have now as resident is, Floris is so good and top rated that is getting over crowded now, on top of that we noticed some of the parents in the neighborhood are abusing the residency requirement by submitting falsified affidavits and letting neighboring school kids to attend Floris, we brought this up in our community meeting, posted in NextDoor App and thinking of bringing this to school management and Discovery square home owner association's attention also so that Floris rating does not go down due over crowding. We also requesting parents and future parents to keep a vigil and make sure your neighbors are not letting their cousins/friends abusing the school boundaries.We have 2 kids one in 2nd grade and another in 4th grade, both have the best teachers, teachers are so welcoming and motivating, both our kids are challenged enough to unleash their potential. They are EXCELLENT. BIG THANK YOU to all Floris teacher and principal for their dedication and excellent teaching, KEEP IT UP.

My kids has been at this school since 1st grade. Teachers by & large are excellent. Student population is very good and I have had very positive interactions with the Principal. PTA is strong and has excellent programs to support the education at the school. Has been winning "Governor’s Award for Educational Excellence: for quite a few years now.My kid has had a healthy experience here.

Both my kids kindergarten teachers were amazing. I thought there was no way a teacher could be better than my son's kindergarten teacher who was retiring that year. But two years later my daughter went to kinder and got the replacement teacher, Mrs. Drake, who was the most attentive teacher. She used positive reinforcement to change my daughters behavior, who her pre-school teachers had been trying to but never succeeded. I was amazed at how much attention she gave my daughter but then I was even more amazed when I discovered that she had been doing the same for other students as well. All the parents I talk to only have good things to say about this school. I've never heard of any bullying issues, and the kids are academically challenged. Both my kids enjoy going to school each day because they like their classmates and their teachers.
