[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We're looking at houses in the Potomac area and while I can see that the test scores and Great Schools info suggest Churchill is a great school academically, all the info here is about how the students are all rich and materialistic. Can anyone with firsthand experience of the school culture comment on how kids who come from more laid back families manage at Churchill? It's a big school so I would hope that there are all types of kids and surely not everyone fits the stereotype? We like the bigger lots of Potomac, but not sure it's a great fit culturally. [/quote] Yes, there are all types of students in Churchill HS. Most of people who live in houses on bigger lots In Potomac send their kids to private schools. [/quote] I posted earlier. There are lots of kids who live in $2M plus homes who attend public schools. These are families that don't prioritize education in their families and prefer to spend on cars, homes, vacations, etc. We live in a smaller home (under $1M) with a half acre lot...so not tiny. Not sure how big a lot the OP is looking for, but there are plenty of more modest homes on larger lots. They might be differentiating Potomac from places like Bethesda and Chevy Chase, which have very small lots...sometimes with no back yards.[/quote] Or they are happy enough with the education their kids are getting and do not feel the need to spend on private school...[/quote]
