McHarg Elementary School

Posted February 27, 2009

I have had great experiences with the school and staff. My third child started Kindergarten there this school year. I do agree that the bus situation needs to be dealt with. I too have had issues with the bus driver on our route. (bus 1) and felt helpless and in all honesty a little bullied in trying to resolve the situation. I later found that it is a private company and not the city that runs the buses which explained a lot. I now drop off and pick up my children. Luckily I have mastered the system because it can be quite a chore, it seems the majority of parents choose this option. One concern of mine about this, however, is the children coming out the door into an area with heavy car fumes. There has to be a safer door to discharge the walkers from. The kids love Mr. Price.

I must agree I have a problem with how long it takes for the kids to get home in the afternoon. I live even closer I'm about 3 blocks from the school but they have their way of making sure that every child is where they are suspossed to be and it works for them. My main problem is that if your child rides the bus and has had problems with any children on the bus such as being hit by one...If you call and try to report the problem to the 'Head lady in charge' you never get a response! My child is in K2 and I should'nt have to worry about someone elses kid abusing my child.

I have had problems with the board of education in Radford.Students that attend Radford have to pay to ride the bus.I have huge concern with the amount of time children have to wait just to catch the bus in the evening.I live approximatley 1.2 miles from the school and my daughter was not getting home until after 4:oo each day.At 6 years old that makes for a long day.School is over at 3:15---3:05 if they are a pick-up.I would like to hear from other parents teachers etc... about this.

All three of my kids go here and the staff and teachers are super great. Mr. Price is a great principal and the school grounds are kept super nice by the custodian staff.
