[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would not recommend Potomac. I just dropped my child off at the bus due to the construction and the parking situation. If someone could offer me my $55,000 back I would take it and we would go on our way somewhere more joyful. [/quote]

WOW.  We are a current family.  Our child and the Potomac families we know find it to be a very joyful place with a wonderful community.  And as far as your claim of dropping your child off at the bus because of the construction, that's ridiculous.  If your child is in K, you can drop them off in carpool.  If your child is a senior, they can still park on campus.  Other than that, your child was always required to take the bus due to an agreement with the surrounding HOA (which understandably doesn't love the thought of hundreds of cars lined up bumper to bumper to get on campus every morning on a road that is approximately 1/2 mile long).

Potomac has (so far) handled the construction of the new middle school very well.  Yes, some parking is limited, but not much (really just a small lot (30 spots?) now designated for construction workers).  Would you rather they keep a building from 1954 than take 30 spots of parking away?

To everyone claiming it's not worth it to apply because your child won't be accepted unless you're connected or extremely wealthy.  That's nonsense.  We are neither and our child was accepted, as were many of his non-connected friends.

To the International PP from August of this year, definitely include Potomac among the schools to which you apply.  Our child - and we as their parents - couldn't be happier.  [/quote]
Probably some jealousy.  The school is hard to get into.  My son got waitpiled two years in a row, but did get accepted into and chose a school often thought of as a (big 3).  
Apply if you like it, but it’s not the end of the world if you aren’t accepted.[/quote]
