[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] Potomac is seen as a top DC-area private that happens to be located in McLean. It’s viewed as academically rigorous and as having some social cachet (though not the same as the Big 3 in DC). Flint Hill is seen as a suburban private school for kids who couldn’t thrive in publics or whose defense contractor parents didn’t have anything better to spend their money on. It has the trappings of a private school, but isn’t any stronger academically than roughly half of the high schools in the county. This is the reality, like it or not. [/quote]
