Best Public Schools in Dahlgren, VA


Summary:

The city of Dahlgren, Virginia is home to a single public school, Potomac Elementary, which serves students in grades K-5. Potomac Elementary is part of the King George County Public Schools district, which is ranked 69 out of 130 districts in Virginia and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Potomac Elementary appears to be a relatively strong-performing school within the district, with test scores in Mathematics, Science, and English Reading generally above the district and state averages, particularly in 5th grade. The school's 4th-grade VA Studies proficiency rate is also significantly higher than the district and state averages. However, the school's statewide ranking has fluctuated in recent years, ranging from 305 out of 1,114 Virginia elementary schools in 2022-2023 (4-star rating) to 566 out of 1,114 in 2023-2024 (2-star rating), suggesting some inconsistency in its performance.

With a student-teacher ratio of 14.8 and per-student spending of $7,944, Potomac Elementary serves a population with a moderate level of economic disadvantage, as indicated by the 29.64% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. This may present unique challenges and opportunities for the school in terms of supporting student needs and leveraging community resources to ensure a consistently high-quality education for all students.
