Potomac School, Langley School, Flint Hill and Green Hedges

[Anonymous]

It seems like most people only talk about the DC schools which are most sought after. Does anyone have any feedback on these more suburban schools? We are looking at all of them for our young children. I assume they're a bit easier to get into, but I guess it just depends on who applies.

Thanks

I have family friends in DC that sent their daughter to Potomac School.
She loved it and took the school provided bus to school. They have buses that make routes all over town, picking up kids in DC, Bethesda, etc. So I think the school is very mixed in terms of where kids are coming from - not necessary neighborhood kids in McLean.
I got the feeling that it does not have the social stigma and competitiveness that NCS might have, for instance. Its probably at little more relaxed about not having to drive a new European car to school or if you're travelling to an exotic county for your summer vacation. I would definitely check it out.
