SperlingViews - Colonial_Heights, Virginia

If you are new to this area you may want to pick another school. The faculty and staff are very CLICKY at this school. You have to "be in the in crowd", in order to feel welcomed. Racism has been a pain in my backside sense our family moved to this area and our daughters started going to Lakeview. We are a military family so moving is something that we do often. I placed a lot of time in researching this area and we finally picked to move to this area due to the comments on the internet about Lakeview Elementary School. I think that the clicks put those comments on those websites cause the school is the total opposite. The only reason that I have not moved is we only have three more months here. I pray that our family never has to go through another school like Lakeview. I am a volunteer in every community that we live and this is the first time I felt like an outsider. Some of the parent volunteers and PTO volunteers are so RUDE, I am just disgusted to say the least. If you move into this area try Tussing or North Elementary not Lakeview.[read more...]

I think small southern cities are a bit more nosy and stuffy than other parts of the country.[read more...]

I am considering re-locating to Virginia. The only city my family and I actually visited was Roanoke. We liked it very much, but I need to know if the Richmond area has more job opportunities?[read more...]
