[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What are your thoughts about middle grades at Potomac vs. GDS? My neighbor reports that the younger grades at Potomac are problematic with zero structure or discipline. [/quote] Not sure which grades you are referring to. Cant imagine GDS has more "structure" at any grade than Potomac. The rigor increases at Potomac as the kids get older. IS (Intermediate School) and US (Upper School) are quite selective and have coursework to challenge even the brightest students. A few comparisons between GDS and Potomac: 1. Location: GDS (DC) and Potomac (McLean, VA) 2. Athletics: generally stronger at Potomac than GDS 3. Wokeness: GDS (very woke) Potomac (somewhat woke but not as woke as GDS) 4. Ethnic makeup: GDS (large numbers of Jewish and POC (Black) students), Potomac (some POC but not as many as GDS) 5. Academics: fairly comparable[/quote]
