Community Reviews
this school does not take care of their students- especially their special education students. the school district REFUSES to prioritize the wellbeing and safety of the students in this school. i would highly recommend sending your children to any school BUT here.
Posted by a community member on 9/25/2025Such a disrespectful school against disabled kids.
Posted by a parent on 7/9/2025We’ve had a wonderful experience with Bester with two kids beginning in kindergarten and going all the way through 5th grade. Do not let the low Great Schools score scare you, this is an awesome school with a very kind and supportive staff. We couldn’t be happier with our experience there!

5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy kids both attended Potomac Heights and I found it to be a really good elementary school with a small number of students per grade, low teacher to student ratio and a great community of parents and teachers. On the rare occasion when a problem did pop up, I found teachers and staff to be helpful, responsive and concerned. In short, I recommend it.Parent Review4y ago - Salem Avenue Elementary School

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageSt. Mary’s is a second home to my children. They both love attending school. The teachers and administrators are very special, and genuinely want all kids attending this school to be successful and happy . This far selecting this school for my children’s private education has been the best decision.Parent Review6mo ago - Truth Christian Academy
