Summary

Potomac View Elementary is a PK–5 elementary school in Woodbridge, VA, serving 557 students as part of Prince William County Public Schools. The school holds a 2-star rating and ranks 646th out of 1,111 Virginia elementary schools (42nd percentile) for 2025–2026. That places it in the middle of the pack statewide, but the school has made real progress over the past decade—climbing from the 13th percentile in 2015–2016 to the 49th percentile in 2024–2025—before a slight dip this year. Around 71% of students qualify for free/reduced lunch, typical for schools in this part of Woodbridge.

What sets Potomac View apart is how well certain student groups perform. English Language Learners rank in the 83rd percentile statewide, and low-income students rank in the 71st percentile—both earning 4-star ratings. The school also has a student-teacher ratio of 13.0, the lowest among nearby comparison schools. Chronic absenteeism has dropped from 23.7% in 2021–2022 to 13.8% in 2024–2025, now matching the district average. Fourth grade is a bright spot, with math and reading meeting district averages and Virginia Studies well above the state. The most useful comparison is Featherstone Elementary, just 0.7 miles away, which serves nearly the same share of low-income students (70.6%) but ranks at the 59th percentile and has a chronic absenteeism rate of just 5.5%.

The biggest concern is early literacy. Only 53.7% of 3rd graders passed the reading SOL in 2025–2026, about 19 points below the district and 14 below the state. Fifth-grade math and science also trail district averages by 10 and 6 points, and results vary notably by grade and cohort. Attendance, while improved, is still higher than at several nearby schools like Dale City Elementary and Martin Luther King Jr. Elementary, both of which have rates below 9%. Overall, Potomac View is a school in transition with genuine strengths in supporting English learners and low-income students. With a low student-teacher ratio and a clear set of priorities—stronger early reading, steadier upper-elementary STEM, and continued work on attendance—the school is building on a positive trajectory.
