School Summary
Located in the backyard of Mount Vernon, Washington Mill Elementary is equally proud of its past, present, and future. The land where George Washington once walked continues to serve as a farm, planting the seeds of a solid education for the students of Washington Mill.

Staff members recognize the importance of technology as it is woven into the curriculum. A computer curriculum-based math program is used in grades four through six to supplement the instructional program in mathematics. While technology is a focus, staff members continue to emphasize basic skills in the instructional program.

Washington Mill enjoys rich diversity in its population. Diversity is a strength that adds to a multicultural educational program. The community celebrates family heritage through a yearly program focusing on each student's family history.

Through the work of an excellent PTA, Washington Mill is able to better help students. The PTA sponsors after-school Spanish and exciting fine arts programs. Family and community programs are sponsored by the PTA throughout the year.

Just as it was during the time of George Washington, Washington Mill is an exciting place to be.
