- My son was former student of this school. This school has many issues and it's not safe environment for children.
I will not enroll my daughter to this school in the future.

(Rating: 5 / 5) Report As Inappropriate - The school can't get ahead because of the bad reputation they have. They are as good as West Potomac. They are very strict though. Need improvement in their science department though.

- I am alumni of this school and I am a little disappointed in the reputation this school receives. I think it has things it can work on but like all Fairfax County Schools it is ahead of many schools throughout Virginia.
