Controversial Brickyard Road site considered for Potomac Elementary

Published April 7, 2013 4:00am ET



Montgomery County school officials are eyeing a former Potomac farm, where neighbors beat back a proposal to build soccer fields, as the new home for Potomac Elementary School.

The school system is studying the feasibility of the move to the site on Brickyard Road as part of its plans to renovate the school and add 126 seats, according to a letter sent home to Potomac Elementary School parents. The school now has 496 students, putting it 17 percent above the capacity of its current building on River Road near Falls Road.
