Flint Hill Elementary (FCPS)

[Anonymous]

Does anyone have direct experience with Flint Hill Elementary in Vienna (not the private school in Oakton)? In particular, I would be interested to know what you think about the administration and staff, and whether the school community seems welcoming to all.

Yes, we're very happy there.

Friends went there from Louise archer and lovvveeee it.

We have been happy with the school, teachers and administration. The PTA is also very strong. Our DC is eligible for aap and likely will stay at the base school.

From what you have observed as a teacher or parent, does there seem to be good staff morale?

[Anonymous]

I like the school. Teachers seem good, and the PTA does a terrific job. The front office staff is not good though. The principal is a dud , but the Asst. Principal is stellar. We haven't (yet) had any significant problems at the school-- but I wonder how the administration would handle things if we did...

When you say dud, would you say that because he is uninvolved, disinterested in students, or lacks personality? Regarding your comment on the front office staff, they are not welcoming? Just trying to get an overall feeling for the school as we consider options. Thanks!!

If your're going to cast aspersions, back them up, otherwise you are a troll.

You do not say whether you have an option or not. If you have a choice, I would pass on this school. It is not an academically challenging school and the admin is not admirable. Louise Archer is a much better school. Some people love the active PTA, others decry the super easiness of the classwork.

Friends of mine love this school.

Friends of mine hated this school and moved out of the boundary.

This school is not universally loved. Why the anger?

No anger, but you've explained nothing, troll

I would say that this poster is typical of the Flint Hill booster. "cast aspersions" instead of criticise. Love "my" school or you are a troll.
