I hate this school. It’s literally so horrible and I’ve been here for so long and the walls are practically falling apart.

Some teachers' behaviors are borderline bullies. They just had an anti bullying day, events can't be effective if teachers' behaviors shows something else.

Many teachers at this school are terrible. Always in a irritable mood, often displaying punitive control on students at all times. I've observed how rude an mean they are with children during lunch and after school. There's very few teachers that are nice/sensitive to children. I have expressed my concerns and was pretty much shut down by the principal. I am tremendously concern and wish my kids did not have to attend this school.

Not at all. Teachers can't even be compassionate and respectful to students, they certainly can not teach it either.

The principal at this school is terrible. She refuses to listen and often dismissed parents' concers. A group of us brought up some concerns last year and she shut us down. The same thing this year, she is ineffective and the overall performance at the schools shows how poorly the school is administrated.

No at all. We had a student that had special needs, instead of assisting this child, without proper notice he was changed from full day to half day. Nothing was done to meet his needs. HE was often removed from the class and support was never offered. Ultimately a decision was made to change this child to a charter school as it was impossible to stay at Potomac Landing.

Terrible! I wish we could move so that my children wouldn't have to attend this school. I have three young children and regret taking them out of the Fairfax public school system.

My daughter attends PLES and will be entering 1st grade this year. I'm pleased with the school and the teachers/principal expectations for parent involvement. If you are a parent who would like to just have child taught by a teacher and you as the parent have no interesting in teaching your child this is not the school for you. My child's teacher helped to continue what have already as a parent instilled in my child that learning is the building blocks of FUN. This school in kindergarten required my child to have a 2min oral presentation and be involved in the spelling bee not for competition but enhancement in sight words and being able to verbalize her findings. So our past year experience with this schools has been pleasant.

This school is horrible. The teachers are unfriendly, unprofessional, disorganized and lack passion. Everything is outdated....from the staff to the building to the curriculum. They only care about MSA testing. If you are okay with your child having a cookie-cutter education that lacks individuality and creativity, then this school is for you. The school lacks technological resources and any qualified individual that could perform, let alone teach, the students about computers and software. This school is a real museum and could use a major facelift inside and out.

Potomac Landing Elementary School is great for instruction, parent teacher organization involvement, and a staff that demonstrates professionalism and care in every grade. My children both had IEPs and the special education program and leaders were exceptionally helpful. The Principal is a good delegates well, but he picks a hard working staff. I've sent 2 children there and have seen others that have come from private schools lacking the standards needed to succeed in this public school. Well done PLES family. Keep up the great work.

My son just completed his first year of kindergarten at this school and I have nothing but positive things to say about the school, teachers, PTSA, and administration. They were all easy to work with no matter what the situation and most importantly they took an interest in my child and his education. I absolutely loved the entire Kindergarten teaching staff and the methods they used getting the child and the parent involved in the children's education. I would definitely recommend this school and look forward to the upcoming year with two more kindergartens there and one in first grade.

My son came to Potomac Landing from a private school with a great foundation. He excelled at Potomac Landing. The foundation couldn't have been any better if he had started there. I could have a larger college fund had I done my homework sooner. No complaints.
