[quote=Anonymous]As someone who moved from out of state whose kids had also already been in private (and have now gone all the way through in private), I would suggest you also consider public school. The publics and their family communities are strong in this area. And since this is a somewhat transient area with people moving in and out from government/military jobs, there are more kids swapping in and out of private than in other areas of the country.  The result is that you can transfer into private mid-way through if you change your mind about public. With hindsight, we wished we had at least tried our local elementary when we moved here versus just going directly into private.

With that said, the privates you listed are all solid. I'd apply to Potomac, Flint Hill, Congressional and Langley and see where you get in and make a choice from there. The k-8's will focus much more on younger students--if you aren't staying in the area for the long haul that may be a better choice. Otherwise, if you get into Potomac, take the spot and call it a day.[/quote]
