Oxon Hill Elementary School

My family and I are truly honored for the opportunity to attend this school. From the moment I inquired about the late lottery acceptance, I was connected with the remarkable and kind-hearted Ms. D. Johnson. She demonstrated patience, thoroughness, and genuine care throughout the process. When I expressed uncertainty about acceptance into the lottery, Ms. Johnson reassured me of the value of the program and the excellence of its teachers. I am deeply grateful for her guidance and support. We are excited for our Pre-K3 student to begin this journey, and we look forward to a wonderful school year with the teachers and staff.

Worst school ever my child will not be returning

As a father, I’ve been very impressed with this elementary school and the direction it’s heading.The teachers are dedicated and genuinely care about their students. They take the time to really know each child — recognizing their strengths, supporting their growth, and making sure they feel safe and valued. It’s clear they care about more than just academics; they’re helping shape confident, well-rounded kids.The school promotes an inclusive environment where students feel welcomed and respected. There are also meaningful opportunities beyond the classroom that allow kids to grow, build leadership skills, and explore their interests.Since the current principal stepped in, there’s been noticeable progress. Communication has improved, expectations are clear, and there’s a strong commitment to raising the bar and moving the school forward. It’s reassuring to see leadership that is truly invested.Overall, this is a school community that cares — and that makes a difference.

Indian Queen became the place that reminded me why I fell in love with teaching in the first place. Walking into the building each day felt lighter. The students are not only well behaved, but genuinely eager to learn. It was refreshing and uplifting to be surrounded by teachers who truly enjoy being with their students. There’s a real sense of joy in the classrooms and a culture built on collaboration, support, and learning from one another. You don’t feel alone here—you feel like part of a team.The parents are incredibly supportive and deeply involved in their children’s education, which creates such a strong partnership between home and school. And under Dr. McCall’s thoughtful guidance, the school is run with care, clarity, and heart.Indian Queen didn’t just give me a workplace—it gave me back my passion.

I don't understand how such arrogant, rude, and overbearing people can be principals in schools where there are so many children and where they know they have to deal with many problems. My daughter is being bullied at school, and today, for the second time, there was another incident with the same girl who bullied my daughter before. I went to Tayac Elementary School... the principal practically treated me like a criminal and told me that I was endangering the children and that I couldn't be there unless I had a clean record. It makes me so angry that being Latina doesn't mean we're criminals... all the children were leaving through the hallway, and I told my daughter that we should wait for all the children to leave so we wouldn't be in the middle of them, and Principal Latonya started calling me practically a criminal, dangerous, and a threat... when at no point did I even say a bad word or raise my voice for her to insinuate such things.

Incompetent office staff. Instead of helping us with transferring 3 students to another PG county school, the students were withdrawn/taken out the system. This led to the students missing two weeks from school due to the online registration process and having to call the new school and the district to acquire a parentvue account. Valley View did not give out this information when asked. We were told they could no longer help us but were never advised that online registration was necessary nor that a code was supposed to be given. All they did was print out a few documents(while sitting down and having us reach over to grab them) and told to go to the new school for further help. This experience was unbelievable and could have been prevented if staff was not lazy and had proper knowledge on the process.
