Potomac hands down over Flint Hill.[/quote]

Potomac is the opposite of nurturing and supportive. It’s a [b]pressure cooker[/b] and they pride themselves on that.

I know people like to talk about that and maybe for some it is. For our family and a close friend's kids it was not. Our kids were not top of the class and we put no pressure on them for a certain level of college acceptance. The LOVED their experience at Potomac. It really can be about so much more than academics if you choose to look at it that way. Our kids loved the sports, arts, clubs, community feel, school spirit, the teachers and staff, and the opportunities for fabulous assemblies, trips, and all of the fun traditions throughout the year. The teachers were, almost to a person, incredible supportive and willing to give extra help when needed. So here are two other families experiences in when our children never reported feeling like they were in a "pressure cooker." Was it challenging? Yes. Were they well prepared for college? Yes. Did they learn how to be independent learners and to advocate for themselves? Absolutely. No regrets![/quote]
