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.

The best part of our school is the sports programs. Dominion offers varsity sports for all seasons in JV sports for many sports. The coaches are invested in the athletes and even with our school size we have been able to compete with bigger schools. We have even one district region and state championships for some of our sports. The worst part of our school is the education standards. Our school does not offer many of the programs in classes that other schools in Loudon County are able to offer I don't think some of the teachers are the best for many students to be able to succeed. I believe as a student who takes higher level classes that the education at the minion is not to par with other schools in Loudoun County. I feel that our school does not have the resources needed to be able to push higher achieving students or the resources to help students achieve their full potential before college.

Very fun environment, diverse culturally. Low income students and higher as well. So there is definitely a gap between that. Teachers are nice and caring.

My student doesn’t feel excited about attending this school. The bus schedule keeps changing in the middle of school and I have to drop them off everyday now. Not sure why the schedule is so inconvenient to students. For a public school this is bad planning. Substitute teachers have no understanding...

This is a terrific school especially in consideration of the diversity of the student body. The school administration and teachers work hard to ensure that all students get an opportunity for a top notch education. My three children graduated from Dominion and participated in a range of AP classes,...
