Research Hermitage Elementary School public Schools in Virginia Beach, Virginia

“I have been at hermitage for 6 years and I think they failed horribly! I wish I would have moved along time ago. they are great if you already have a straight A student, but forget about a child who struggles.”

“Im a rising 6th grade student and i have been going to Hermitage since kindergarden! Im really sad i have to go to middle school because H.E.S. was so great. There were so much encouragement for our SOLs! The one thing i did not like was the favoritism to the kids with a parent who is very active in the PTA.”

“My kids have gone to Hermitage for over 5 years. They are truly the most dedicated individuals I have ever met. Hermitage is one of the best elementary schools in Virginia Beach. The children are treated with the utmost respect and have a wonderful and challenging learning environment. I consider my children to be very lucky to have their elementary school years spent with the Hermitage family.”

“The school did not do well for special needs children. The parents often felt their children were a burden to the school for many reasons. The principal was not well liked among the teachers, students or parents for her syle of mangement and people skills.”

“As a parent of a first time Hermitage Student with an IEP I am extremely disappointed. We moved only part of our family back to this area for school because we felt it was better for her. I feel that moving here for a better school was not what I got. It took months to get anyone to listen to what I was saying about my child. They didn't seem to want to help or comprehend what I was saying. Very disconcerting that they feel the children are 'different' and they need less attention than the students with above average attitudes and grades.”

“Initially, I was very hesitant about the school. Only because my children were already attending an academic challenging school. However, on my first visit to Hermitage (during the summer break-01') I met the PTA president. She was very kind, warm hearted, and had a positive attitude. She assured me that I would be very happy with the staff and how committed they are to the students. Her sincerity, and strong support of the teachers and there genuine commitment to teaching the students convinced me that this school would be a positive transition for my children. And I must say I have been very pleased with the results. I thank the staff at Hermitage because of there warmth, and commitment toward helping and teaching every student. And this is what seperates you from the your surrounding schools. Thank you for working hard to educate all of your students.”
