George Watkins Elementary school has been an exciting adventure, 2 years worth of teachers not able to control there class rooms. Even before covid, in-school instruction seemed to be failing my child in social skills. This school is not equipped to handle children who have a voice, lots of questions, and any type of behavior concern. Thankfully, my child succeeds academically but has continuously been shunted by multiple teachers. It was said by multiple parents that a 1st grade teacher had a liking more for girls in the classroom than the boys in her classroom. So if you have first grade girls you should be fine. They appear to be understanding of situations that come up but have no clue how to work with kids who may be struggling with behavior or social skills. Teachers are quick to kick a kid out of a classroom or not even acknowledge them in virtual learning even when they are trying to do right. Only posting because it seems to be an issue with other parents as well.
My experience at New Kent High School has been an exciting adventure. On my first day, I was so scared that the upperclassmen would bully me or make fun of me, just like much other lower classmen thought as well. I also had extreme difficulty navigating the hallways because I missed orientation but the welcoming and kind students helped greatly and proved my beliefs wrong. The school's academics also gave me extraordinary benefits in preparing me for college. I was able to enroll in an "Early College Program" through Rappahannock Community College which enabled me to truly challenge my abilities by taking all AP and DE as well as online college classes. This program allows me to earn my Associate's Degree when I graduate in May which I think has significantly prepared me for my future. In the end, I'm so thankful that I was able to go to New Kent High School.
The education and the courses were alright, I liked some of my teachers . Something that I want to change in the school would be the teachers . I would like for more teachers to be more encouraging and helpful because high school is not easy and most teachers don’t like to help the kids that are failing. They usually blame it on the students.
