School Reviews

Parents are involved in the school. The only thing I don't like about Lake Anne that teachers don't use positive enforcement to encourage kids for good behaviors.
2 10/10/2025
Teachers at Lake Anne should be working on strategies that work most effectively with individual children. I moved my kid to another school because my kid has a special need, and teachers at Lake Anne were unable to empower and help him.
1 10/10/2025
Teachers at Lake Anne focus on the negative aspects of students, wether they have a learning disability or not.They speak to parents in a way that highlights only the parts of learning and behavior that the child struggles with.The student are all expected to test the same and behave the same.
