I have two children at this school who are high performers. The curriculum is well-organized and there are many good teachers at the school. The students that aren't engaged are a constant distraction and discipline is poor and ineffective. My children come home everyday complaining about it. It is a mixed culture of kind and respectful students and very disrespectful, undisciplined students. Unfortunately the administration is incredibly ineffective in managing this and it really takes from the experience the teachers and cooperative kids deserve. The students to teacher ratio is closer to 1:30, not 1:20 as they claim.

This school is the worst for bullying.

Terrible management. Over zealous teachers. No wonder turnover is weekly there

Mala escuela todos los días hay peleas mal experiencia hay mucho gangeros jamasssssss recomendaría esta escuela de maliantes

Great school great teachers and great administrators- well done each and everyone in the school are lovely and welcoming.

This school encourages the students and their families to stay engaged with the school activities and the teachers. Vandenberg really demonstrates the ideal school for the community.

We can't wait to get out. I went to this school and it was just as bad then if not now. If your last name isn't popular, you mean nothing. My children have had a horrible time with bullying, both physically and mentally by staff and other students, and the school does nothing about it. They are not well set up to handle children with diabilities whether that be physical or mental. My children feel like they arent learning anything, and they aren't getting help from the teachers. Don't walk, but RUN from this school district.

I would say learning here is not as interesting as they may make it Yet the teachers try to Support the students, but the kids that are misbehaving end up, distracting the teachers and making them not be able to help the people that need help.The school offers A therapist which is good for mental health and they have a lot of counselors but I feel they don't reach out enough. They have a very interesting special education that they do handle well. There is quite a bit of fights happening here they do their best To try and stop it, But It slips through the cracks. They send Home a weekly message every Sunday to keep families, engaged and involved.

This school has been rated a 10 most years. I had a fantastic experience here with my child. The staff and community here is extremely involved to a level you will not find at almost any other school in Virginia Beach.

The bullying is out of control. Complaints go unheard. I was shocked when my child told me the names and racial slurs that are spewed constantly by students and ignored by staff. The school is full of bullies that are empowered by the lack of consequences. I am trying to find a way to pull my child out. Hard to pay for private school when the taxes are so high. This school needs a lesson in civility.

The principal, teachers and student are all amazing. The new priest and his “finance committee “ are ruining the school. They have mistreated the current, amazing principal have spread lies, and done extremely unethical things. They really should be held accountable for their actions. Pray for St Mary’s school.

My child has some trouble going to school. There were times when he was not interested in going to school. It is already half of the school year and I have no idea if my child has improved academically. I would only rely on the paperwork that he did and how his mood after school. The teacher provided a mobile phone app where we can keep in touch. However, it is useless. The teacher does not want to interact with you. Not all teachers are friendly. They send out your child with an open school bag and a lousy dress. I understand that they should be responsible. However, you will not feel the care of a family or call it their second home. They do not care. If your child cannot function like other regular kids in school, do not set up your expectations. This school would only remind you that education is still the best at home.

I have been to this school and other schools in the area and it is probably the worst. The education there is so bad. They barely teach anything and the curriculum is so bad. I went for 1 year and I learned nothing compared to the other kids at different schools that I met the year after I left this horrible school. The administration is good in terms of academics but the disciplinary system at this school is horrible. The kids are so bad. Horrible bullying and lots of worst things including vapes in the bathroom etc. The school building is in horrible condition and the school doesn't nothing about it. The education part of the administration tries but everything else is horrible. Nobody cares about the students health and well being. The teachers don't try and have no motivation to learn because of the horrible students. There is a huge portion of the students that don't care about school at all and spend their time bullying other kids and ruining the time of other students. They don't have a good support system for disable kids. This school was a waste of my time and I hated every second of it. I would recommend to go to a school in Plano ISD instead and get a better, more supportive experience.

This is the greatest school ever my kids always come home in an amazing mood. Also they tell me how nice everyone is the teachers are great with communication. My kids have an amazing time at school that they actually like going unlike when they went to Creswell.
