West Potomac High School (VA)

Located near the Potomac River between George Washington's Mount Vernon mansion and the City of Alexandria, West Potomac High School (WPHS) was established in 1985. Drawing from an area of Fairfax County that is economically, racially, and ethnically mixed, West Potomac serves one of the most widely diverse student bodies in northern Virginia. Students come from more than 75 countries and speak 46 different languages in their homes. Socio-economic and ability levels are just as widely spread. Staff members and students alike benefit from this cross-cultural experience. West Potomac's diversity is an asset the school strongly celebrates. We had 2, 681 students enrolled in 2024-2025.
