[quote=Anonymous]Agree with many Potomac parents here about the community and rigor; have two children (MS/LS - both started in K) and we love the community (as noted, you will find 'your people'). Academics really start to pick up in MS and love that our children have wonderful friend groups (of all backgrounds, income levels, etc.). The wealth can be intimidating and no, we are never buying the F1 Scholarship Auction item, but all the families have been warm and welcoming. We have had a mixed bag when it comes to teachers but there is so much support and attention from the staff it hasn't been too much of an issue. I do no know how families adapt when coming in for 9th or another expansion year; would be very intimidating IMO (we decided early on if we were doing private, we would start in K). Admissions are very tough - know several siblings who haven't been admitted (even in lower grades) and the yield is very high year over year. So, we have loved our experience to date, but there is a school out there that is right for everyone; this area is bursting with wonderful independent and public school choices.[/quote]
