Recent Reviews

molly: Potomac Lighthouse is a charter school that started off with a good vision, and then lost sight of what is really important. The love of learning for students. Leadership has been inconsistent at best, going through multiple principals per year, and the school does not treat its' teachers well, allowing them opportunities for professional growth or improvement. I would highly reconsider before sending my child to this school. There are many dangerous occurrences that happen at the school and are not dealt with a zero-tolerance policy.
