[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How do you know pp? Not being snarky but want to understand as we are in McLean zoning and trying to decide [/quote]

My 2c on this.  English is not my first language so pardon my error-filled grammar :-(

If your kid is already smart and has the social skill, then put him or her into Mclean, Langley or Marshall.  Your kid will do fine in life

If your kid is smart but has no social skill, put him or her into Potomac.  He or she will learn how to interact and socialize with other kids @potomac.  Public school just doesn't teach this.

If your kid is neither smart nor sociable, put him or her into Potomac for reasons stated above

Your can be smart, go to a good college like UVA but no social skill, you will end up working for someone if you attend public school.  If you are smart with no social skill, by attending potomac, you will learn both academic and social skill that you will end up being the boss of other smart people.[/quote]

Had one graduated from Langley (in HYP) and had another one graduated from Potomac (at a well regarded state college), with the youngest one heading to Langley next year.  The challenging courses offered at Langley and students taking them exceed Potomac's advance courses [u]by far.[/u]  But the small setting in Potomac can help those above average smart but shy kids shine.  If your DC is a travel caliber athlete, s/he probably can make the HS team at Langley.  However, if your DC is an average athlete and wants to play for HS, Potomac can offer that opportunity.  But if sports is not high on your DC's list, and s/he wants more options with EC, then go with public HS!

In hindsight, our Potomac DC would have been better prepared for college and placement had she gone to Langley like her elder sibling.  If[/quote]
