One of my daughters graduated from Blue Ridge and one who is currently in sixth grade. Blue Ridge is a solid academic environment with many opportunities for the children to explore various extracurricular activities. We've found the teachers to be very responsive and involved, which is amazing given how many kids are at the school. Obviously overcrowding is an issue and has been our only concern. I suspect the teachers find it difficult to dedicate as much time to individual students as they would like. As a result, it is easy for some kids to get through w/out really being challenged. So a lot of that responsibility falls back on the parent (at a time in the child's life when they are starting to challenge Mom & Dad). Anyway, congrats to staff at Blue Ridge. You do a great job in a tough situation.
Ha, I find that Blue Ridge has some goods and some bads. There are some teachers that are good and connect to the students real well, but others may be to strict to be a teacher. The Blue Ridge Staff has some really intelligent teachers and some so not. And also, yes we have received 'The Schools To Watch' but I remember hearing that we should smile to everyone that day so we could receive that award, correct me if that is deceiving the judges.
II could not disagree with you more! As a teacher at Blue Ridge Middle, I really take offence to comments like this. We just won an award from 'Schools to Watch' which only has 11 schools in the entire state of Virginia. Three of which are in Loudoun, Co. Yes, all schools have concerns, but I would not and do not agree with this parent s statement. As a teacher here, I am sorry your child had a bad experience. Hopefully, their school experience has improved in the high school setting. I have taught in many other schools and this is by far.... NOT the worst school. Please update your comments.
