[quote=Anonymous]We have two boys in US at Potomac, so I am biased, but the school is hard to beat. We have a long commute in the opposite direction, but it’s really not a big deal. The boys take the late bus after sports. Half of the games are away, so you’d be driving to those regardless. One thing that appealed to us is that our kids are able to do music and sports at the same time at Potomac, whereas they couldn’t have been in honors music groups and sports teams at some of the other schools we applied to. We’ve found there to be enough choice with electives, and the concentration programs that begin in 10th are wonderful. I’ve hear some people upset about not getting into honors classes even after appealing, but mine have always gotten in after appealing. In one instance, one dropped down after starting the honors bc the regular and extended levels at Potomac are plenty challenging. The classes are intense and the level of work expected is high, but the amount of homework is really manageable bc they only have half of their classes each day. You can also build a study hall in, and all freshmen have one. [/quote]
