[quote=Anonymous]Have your student shadow and see what they prefer. Factor in commute. Bullis has a more strenuous course track if your child needs/wants that, but it also has more actual on level classes and supports if that’s more appropriate. I don’t know as much about Potomac academically, but based on what I understand from friends it is definitely more of a pressure cooker type feel academically. Socially, there’s a ton of money at both. That’s not limited to those two schools, but I would say we felt it more there than at other schools on our list. Athletically, both has some very dominant sports, but they play in different divisions so take a look at which makes better sense for your kid if they’d like to continue playing in HS (beyond simply ticking the PE requirement box). We ultimately scratched Potomac off our list because of the commute (yes, there’s a bus so WE wouldn’t always be driving but the amount of time in transit for DC was too much). We ultimately scratched Bullis off the list (after DC was accepted) because DC’s shadow day experience was not great. We have friends who made a different choice and are very happy at both. [/quote]
