Rating: (5 / 5) Flag as inappropriate
Have one son who graduated in 2008 and is now in his second year at Virginia Tech (Industrial design) and doing very well thanks to the excellent work done at SCSS. Have one daughter that presently attends 10th grade and continues to do very well at this school. Overall this is a top notch school, only the staff seems difficult to retain (in my view as a non expert in the matter turn-over is somewhat on the high side, but then, I was educated in Europe where teachers have less mobility and society in general is less impressed by how much money one can make by moving from one employer to another !
