[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Potomac is a fantastic school, but it is not for every family.  The academics are difficult, and get more difficult as the school progresses from IS to the High School (Upper School).  You should know that if you are entering in lower school.  [b]The school values community highly, and has wonderful supportive families.  [/b]The school wants families to participate in their community.  The facilities are incredible, and has just about every amenity for every student (affinity groups, sports, arts, etc.). It is true that it is an expensive school, and a difficult one to get into.  I don't think it's Mclean based.  I fact, I would argue a down side of going to a school like Potomac is that families are spread out everywhere so often kids have to travel far to see friends, unlike a close-knit neighborhood public school.

Is this true for HS parents too (especially new ones in 9th)? [/quote]

I think if you make an effort to attend games/performances, volunteer at the snack bar, and attend the various gatherings the school holds, you’ll have no problem finding welcoming parents in the broader community!

And hopefully you’ll like the parents of the kids your child chooses for friends. The 9th grade entries in my kids’ friend groups seamlessly meshed - and the parent side comes alongside (carpools, introducing them to people at school events, hanging out for a bit at dropoff). The parents quickly became friends too. [/quote]
