Hargrave Military Academy

• Private School
• CHATHAM, VA
• 7-12
• Rating 3.5 out of 5  16 reviews

Parent: As a parent I am exceptionally happy with Hargrave. They teach so much more than just academics. They have many fine academic offerings in my opinion and opportunities for advanced placement as well. The teachers have a genuine interest in helping the boys achieve their very best academically. There is lots of extra help available if you need it as well. We are happy with the time management techniques they are teaching our son. Responsibilities and following rules are emphasized daily. We feel it really prepares our son for the real world. You will not be coddled here, but given fair expectations and be expected to do it. A's are not handed out here as the grading scale is slightly higher than most schools so when you get an A you can really be proud of your accomplishment and understanding of the subject matter. We are very pleased with the athletics that they offer and are highly impressed with how they manage to keep all the boys active and busy.

Senior: The teachers are great. I loved every minute of being a Trojan! We may have had tighter rules and regulations, but that it why we were the best in our county. Majority of the students were nice, with a few exceptions. I never had a problem with any of my teachers.

Gretna Elementary School

• Pittsylvania County Public Schools, VA
• PK, K-5
• Rating 5 out of 5  1 review

Niche User: Gretna Elementary Schools are very nice. I loved all the sweet teachers. When I lost my dad all the teachers were there for me and bought me flowers which showed a lot about their personality. I learned everything I needed to and was able to easily pass through to the next grade. The principal was also great at her job and made the students feel like she was their friend instead of the boss. The academics were great. The school's safety was good because they had to hit a button from the inside to let someone in and we had to do several drills every month. The food was great I used to love their little rectangle pizzas. The field trips were great too. I loved everything about Gretna Elementary School.

• Rating 4.43 out of 5  7 reviews

Senior: I have attended Faith Christian Academy for 13 years. I am currently a senior with only two other students in my grade. Over the years I have learned very many valuable things about education. Not only that, but the most important thing that I have learned and achieved is growing closer to God. Faith Christian Academy focuses and cares about all of their students and wants the best physical outcome for them.

Chatham High School

• Pittsylvania County Public Schools, VA
• 9-12
• Rating 3.59 out of 5  73 reviews

Junior: A very good school overall, but lacks diversity in certain areas, as many students are closed-minded on certain topics and tend to pick on other students sometimes; the art program is very good and has a lot of potential so it would be nice to see some of the money that goes towards sports and other mainstream activities go to less funded programs and classes such as art, economics, etc...it would also be nice to have a debate class, as well as having other people from 11th and 12th grade come up with the prom theme and also having people from each grade come up with days for spirit week!

Senior: I was only there for a short time but the students and staff seemed fairly nice! It's a very nice small-town high school, and it's exactly what you would expect. The school is small, but even so, I'd say it was pretty diverse and there were a good amount of people.
