[quote=Anonymous]As a new transfer family with kids in 2 different West Springfield schools, we have nothing but positive things to say about those schools (Hunt Valley and Sangster).

Sangster is huge, but my child said it feels like a small school.  I am extremely impressed with the professionalism, knowledge and interest of both of my child's main teachers.  The curriculum is challenging but interesting and engaging.  Sangster is my child's fourth school (4th grader) and my child has been excited and eager to go to school since day one.  He feels like Sangster and its program is one of the best he has attended.

Hunt Valley is warm, welcoming and homey, just the way an elementary school should feel.  The teacher and aide are engaged, caring and seem excited to teach the children.  The vice principal is interested and welcoming to the students.  My shy and introverted child is blossoming at this school.  Curriculum seems appropriately balanced for kindergarten.

The parents I have encountered at both schools seem friendly and open.  They are all eager to share glowing feedback about both schools and proud to welcome new families.  Many of the families I encounter are also military, with extensive experience in other schools, and they feel these schools are at the top, for academics and community feel.

I have also heard similar glowing reviews from various friends (all transfers to VA) about West Springfield Elementary.  An additional plus for WS is that the elementary school is smaller and more intimate.  However, housing is very difficult, if not impossible to find in that elementary school zone compared to all the other schools I looked into (a sign IMO that the school is very good).[/quote]
