Ravensworth Elementary School 5411 Nutting Drive, Springfield, VA 22151

"Newly remodeled to significantly expand classroom and support spaces. Kiss and drop-off drive-thru. Limited on-site parking."

"Should someone really be denied a lunch because they are one or two dollars short? I was denied a side and vegetables because I was "one dollar off". Not my best experience."

"I have been noticing that main office staff members are very rude. When my older daughter went to Ravensworth, staff members of main office were very nice but now they do not have sense of how to talk to adults. They talk to you like one of children. You would think their manners and communication skills are better since they work in educational environment, but quite the opposite. I can not wait for my child to graduate."

"As you can see, the previous reviews are sparse and not helpful. So here's my humble opinion...I LOVE THIS SCHOOL. The principal, Mrs. Salata is AWESOME. The Vice Principal, Mr. Paper, is also great; they are both very hands on with both the students and the parents. I have loved all of my sons' teachers. Both of my sons have IEP's and I am very happy with the education, approach and services offered by the school. Parents can be as active as they would like through multiple volunteer opportunities. Lastly, there are people who MOVE to this school district because of Ravensworth's SPANISH IMMERSION education opportunity where children are taught in Spanish to "immerse" them in the language. I believe families who choose this education track have to apply to be accepted into it, and their children are taught 1/2 in Spanish and 1/2 in English. If my boys weren't special ed, I would have LOVED to sign them up for this. All in all, Ravensworth is a GREAT school. My children had attended two other schools before Ravensworth but Ravensworth is my favorite. :)"
