Coming to this school I was already worried due to the reviews alone (that they now have turned…read moreoff). As a parent of a child with a disability, I am deeply concerned about the way Hermitage elementary school has handled my son's right to access education. Since August 25, 2025, my son has been denied safe transportation to and from school despite repeated requests and documentation from his doctors. On multiple occasions, I provided photos, videos, and medical notes showing why the assigned bus stop was unsafe. The elemenatry school has refused alternate transportation options and admitted at one IEP meeting that cost was the reason, even though IDEA does not allow affordability as a reason to deny accommodations. I requested interim educational services (such as homebound or virtual, sending work home) while transportation is resolved, but these were also denied. As a result, my son has been out of school since September 3, 2025, with no access to his education. At my son's IEP meetings, staff often omitted my concerns, changed documentation, or fabricated records in Prior Written Notices. In one case, they started the IEP meeting without me present & continued when I requested to end & leave. The school also sent a social worker and threatened unenrollment of my children after I began filing complaints -- which I believe is retaliatory. They also Moved my other child around to different buses without prior notice or clarification of where they'd be at and didn't want to clarify regardless of my safety concerns and principal urged social worker involvement again. That same child that is also identified gifted btw who always had ap/p when transferred to this school got dps on report card with no explanation and no response to why in the same categories that had ap/p prior at other school in the same district. Every child is entitled to a Free Appropriate Public Education (FAPE) under federal law, but VBCPS hermitage elementary school has failed to meet that obligation in my son's case. Families deserve transparency, accountability, and equal treatment -- not stonewalling, discrimination, and retaliation. I am currently pursuing my case with the Virginia Department of Education, OCR, and more because this situation has gone too far. They unlawfully unenrolled my child.. Parents should not have to fight this hard just for their child to have safe access to school. What makes matters worse is the mistreatment of African American students/families, compared the high proximity of Caucasian students. If you are an African American family especially one with a disabled child, you need to look into the other schools this by far from my experience is the worst. I do not recommend this school at all.

So far, the staff in the office and in the classroom has been friendly and helpful. It is an older school in need of upgrades, but overall it seems to be a very nice elementary school. My only complaint would be that my 1st grader eats lunch at 10:40am and then does not get snack in the afternoon. That is too early for lunch. So he goes 4 hours with no food and he is starved by the time I pick him up in the afternoon. I would love to see them change this.

do not enroll your kids here!!! you do not want to waste your time with this child care facility!…read morethe staff are wonderful. wonderful environment, safe for the most part aside from their own past issues regarding relationships in the church. (google the church) the problem is dependability! this daycare closes to often and routinely based off the public school system!!! if thier closed the daycare school is closed. mind you if its a slight weather condition. (closed) the slightest instance boom, closed! multiple other prominent daycare facilities are open. check for yourself! for the average business professional, every day family, your inconvenienced regularly! absurd is a understatement! if you need dependability, reliability so you can manage your professional life this is not the daycare you want to enroll your children in!!! they will close and delay opening routinely!!! do not take my word for it ask other parents. the sentiment is across the board!!! choose another school you'll be doing yourself a huge favor!!! majority of parents bring their kids to the school themselves!! so why the constant closures?!?! what liability?" is there? the church doesn't seem to recognize the concerns of its clients (parents/children)! #seepic

I would suggest not sending your child here as the teachers do not help the students. Even students with a hard working ethic fail to succeed at this school. The environment was very toxic, the staff was mostly mediocre, and the lunches were terrible (cold and nasty). The lunch staff once gave us raw chicken. Read that again, RAW chicken. There was mold in the theaters as well. For 30k a year, this is not worth it. Do better.

Our kids have felt loved, encouraged, and appropriately challenged throughout their time there and have consistently *enjoyed* going to school. As parents we couldn't ask for more than the solid foundation St. Pius offers. We started our oldest (now 7th grader) in the Pre-K program years ago with the intention of determining whether St. Pius might be a good fit for elementary school. She (and the other siblings) haven't wanted to leave since! Our kids appreciate the close-knit community including their teachers and friends. We are a non-Catholic family (Protestant) and have always felt welcome. As our 3 oldest kids are now part of the amazing athletics program, our love for St. Pius has grown tremendously. Any child in grades 3-8 has the opportunity to participate in team sports and additional activities which significantly enhances their overall experience. Regarding academics, St. Pius is remarkably appropriate for any level student. We've watched Pius grads go to colleges such as the U.S. Naval Academy, Duke, etc. It would be equally beneficial for the student wanting to pursue trade school after high school graduation. St. Pius X is a local gem. We could send our kids to any private school in Hampton Roads and choose this school for the diverse student population it serves and the supportive and friendly environment it offers.
