More About Us

Porter, who began her career as a first grade teacher in a three-room elementary school in Dumfries, Virginia. Although our family extends from 1st to 8th grade, each and every student is given the full attention they need to strive and become star students. Unlike other schools, Porter has been given the School Of Excellence award for 9 years. Making it even more different from other schools in the county, our school has a uniform policy.
