Potomac Elementary School

I am the parent of four alumni who are now in the County's schools. As a whole, my family believes that Dahlgren was the BEST school my children ever attended. The teachers are keenly attuned to student needs and are very adept at making the course changes necessary to give each child the instruction they need to be sucessful. My oldest had failed at the four school he attended prior to Dahlgren. Teachers at those schools labeled him as lazy. The teachers at Dahlgren took the time to get to know him and understand what caused him to do poorly academically. They got him the help and resources he needed to succeed and turned his F's into A's. They also provided my other children with enrichment opportunities that have allowed them to breeze through their current courses. Dahlgren School has an open but safe environment that welcomes all. Parents and community volunteers partner with the staff to provide world class instruction. Students are accepting and supportive of each other. The result is a school that provides superb instruction tailored to meet the needs of each student in a warm and supportive environment that encourages learning, what more could you want!
