My son was doing very poorly despite 2 years in private school (Montessori) so when we moved to Abingdon we placed him in Watauga instead. In one school year he went from reading 1 level below his grade to reading 4 levels ahead. We had one incident of bullying which I immediately reported to the principal, and it was dealt with in less than 24 hours. My son has attended for 2 years now and is thriving. The teaching staff is fantastic, they have a wonderful library and reading program, and the office staff and administration is outstanding. The school is fully accredited, has been listed as one of the highest ranking elementary schools in the state as well as the county, and continues to excel. I highly recommend this school.
