[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thank you for great conversation. It is interesting that admissions to FH are easier vs. Potomac.  Apparently, a lot of families prefer Potomac vs. FH. I am curious why is that? [/quote]
FH is a great school—in fact, it was in the top 2 of our and DC’s HS choices and really only came down to being farther away than the school we went with, and Potomac would have been a terrible fit for our dyslexic/ADHD kid so we didn’t consider it past a first look—but Potomac is far more selective and competitive to get into. Its reputation is basically that of being the best of the mainstream VA privates and it’s in a wealthy area inside the Beltway. I think it’s likely a tougher school than FH overall—although a strong student can get a rigorous education at FH. However a student who wants to put in less effort can get away with that at FH in a way they couldn’t at Potomac. Potomac considered more elite—not on par with the top NWDC schools, but still strong.
