[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Specifically, compare/rank the following schools:

Bryn Mawr
Calvert School
Langley School
Nysmith
Potomac

Are any of these standouts that are clearly a cut about the others?  Are there any that would be considered less prestigious or lower tier?  My family has younger children (girls) and some options in the coming years about where we might live between DC and Baltimore.  Any of these are realistic possibilities for a commute.  Not interested in various other schools like Sidwell, GDS, Park, Friends Baltimore, etc. because they seem too "progressive".[/quote]

Strange question.

No one outside Baltimore even thinks about Baltimore.[/quote]

That is truly tough talk coming from DC. I don't think any region besides  New Englan has schools that people from other regions care about or even know about. With that said, I was aware of Bryn Mawr's existence. Can't say the same for other DC or Baltimore privates. People vaguely know Sidwell because Obama's kids went there but that is it.

[b]People talk about Potomac like it's something special but name drop it in New York or LA and watch the blank stares.[/b]

This.  This seems to be an effort on DCUM to make sure we understand that Potomac is very special.  A very insecure group at that school.
