Kindergarten - Congressional vs Potomac Advice vs Flint Hill

I’d add Green Hedges in Vienna to your list. My son is a recent graduate, had a fantastic experience and is now at a “Big 3” (yes, we drive into DC and are not the only ones).

To the OP, you need to answer this question. What is your commute? Both heading to drop off and where you are coming from for pick up. That plays a big part too, especially if you will be driving around during rush hour.

Also, DCUM is heavy on claiming certain schools are "better" than others. You need to directly visit the schools you are interested in. Talk to the head of the school. Talk to a few teachers. Explore both the middle and high school to see what it would be like beyond Kindergarten. Find the best fit for your child.

It's like picking a pair of shoes. You want ones that are just right, not too tight or too large. Your child's development will be best supported in the best environment for them.
