[quote=Anonymous]Question for any current/former Potomac School high school families, please:  Do you think the school is/was worth going to?

We are currently at an incredible private school in Leesburg, VA.  We love everything about it-- the beautiful campus, the admin, the teachers, the rigorous academics and it's established history.  The problem is, it ends after 8th grade- and we need a high school.

We are not finding any high schools near us that are even close to the current school we are at.  We heard about the Potomac School in McLean, (we are not from this area) and are thinking it might be a good match to where we are now?

It would not be practical for us to commute 45 minutes to an hour each day to go there, so IF, (and it's a big IF), our children were accepted--- we would try to move closer to it.  (This is not a really big deal, because it might be nice to be closer to DC for work anyway.  We also used to move every 2-3 years for our jobs, so this is not a big lift.)

But my question for the current/former parents there is-- is it worth it?  Is it a kind and safe community for high school?  Are the math teachers good?  (Our children love math.)  Are there good college counselors to help give your child a shot at applying to really competitive colleges?

Just because a school is expensive does not always mean it has good values, kind families, good teachers, or high college support.  (That was something I assumed was true, but I am learning it is not.)  Figured I'd ask on here.  Thanks for reading.
