Excellent, passionate teachers, and an amazing principal present at every game, every theatre show, every art exhibit or debate tournament. My son loves this school.

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, sports and other extra curriculars. They took different paths, but each was successful and had a sense of belonging at this school. The education they received prepared them well for entry and successful performance at UVA and other Universities. I highly recommend this school.

The principal is probably the most passionate in Loudoun about student success

All three of my children either have or are attending Dominion. Dr. Brewer, faculty and staff truly care to make a difference and keep Dominion H.S. among the best in Virginia in the Public School System.

went here for better education but all the teachers here are worse than pv.
Submitted by parent on March 04, 2019

My son couldn't learn any of the curriculum due to the the horrible teachers, my husband and I are outrageous and don't recommend your kids to go here, sure it might have better college prep but not after Brewer was put on leave. This school is worse than Park View and Potomac and those are both schools that get bashed on for being "worse". The administration at Dominion try to cover things up that can damage their reputation as a school.

Well rounded in academics and athletes. Truly a wonderful school.

My biggest issue with the school is that the teachers refer eachother to tutor each other's students for a fee. The fee is not cheap and the principal condones it. The problem with this policy is that it disincentives the teachers from actually doing their job. My son was having trouble in math and said his teacher was not helpful when he asked questions. I spoke with her and she referred me to her colleague tutor my son for a fee. Apparently, his teacher tutors her colleague's students. I made a decision to use C2 education which is unaffiliated with the school so as not not give a dime to his teacher's colleague and not contribute to incentivizing these teachers to essentially not do their paid job, TEACH!

Fantastic. Our three children earned excellent grades and did extremely well on standardized tests -- SOL, AP, and SAT.

Great school with caring and professional teachers and administration.

Both of my now young adult children attended Dominion all four years and my son now has a Doctorate degree and daughter has acheived just what she has set out for in the international affairs area. The principal and teachers at this school were excellent and always were able to encourage the student to acheive their goals. In fact, both of my young people stated they worked harder at Dominion then in their four years of undergraduate work at a highly respected VA University. The principal goes way above and beyond to take an interest in the students and their individual success. This school should be rated a 10. I question how a school of this caliber could ever get this rating and I think the model must be wrong.

All three of my kids attended here and are going to college. Great school, great counselors, great principal. This score is BS.

Ive had nothing but positive experiences from the teachers, staff and students at Potomac Falls Highschool. A high level of respect and achievement is the standard there.

Excellent school, principal, faculty and staff. The principal goes above and beyond academics. He tells parents he expects their support in teaching the students to advocate themselves (hence, no helicopter parents allowed), as part of what is needed upon graduation is knowledge of academics AND how the real world operates. My daughter would have gone to Potomac Falls and thank goodness she did not because the principal has not control over the students. Additionally, there is an amazing array of activities and clubs for Dominion students to participate in. Cannot say enough spectacular things about Dr. Brewer and the school!!!!!!!

This school is a horrible one and I say this as a student. The teachers are sub-par, apathetic and ill-disciplined as most tend to play on their facebook and assign busy-work. The administration is without a doubt, one of the most frustrating and ill-conceived heavy weight bureaucracy ever assembled in a school system. They have a fetishism for punishing kids and the focus of the school is on minority and at-risk kids. Teachers tend to pick favorites and the education is sub-par with a focus on rote memorization and testing. Only a handful of teachers care about their jobs. The kids are rich, well-off and spoiled and the social life is dry as it is very cliquey. There is absolutely no school spirit as most if not everyone who goes to this school doesn't care about it and dislikes it. Athletics, clubs and organizations are under-represented as the administration only condones strict discipline. Overall it was a horrible high school and I wouldn't recommend the experience at Dominion High school to anyone. Go to Potomac Falls
