GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

My experience at Potomac falls high school has consisted of ups and downs. I would definitely say that were was never times where I felt bullied. As for academics I feel like our school has some great teachers and course rigor but sometimes compared to other schools in our county we are on the lower side.

They will only help kids that miss a lot...

If I could give this school a 0 I would. The math teachers cannot teach, they get angry if you don’t understand. This schools main priority is not education. It is sports especially Varisty Football which is where all the money goes. There is no hot water in the sinks. There is a extreme health code...
