[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The Potomac comparison is apples and oranges to me.  [b]We ruled out Potomac because they don’t offer AP.  The schools my children are aiming for expect AP [/b]and the rigor of a relatively new high school  (Potomac didn’t have a high school when Ingram up here) doesn’t overcome its lack of AP.  Potomac is sports, pretty campus, and good kids but its lack of AP is a huge problem for a lot of families[/quote]

Potomac might not have been the right school for you, but that's a dumb reason. The most elite schools expect students to have taken the most rigorous classes available. Potomac, like all other schools, sends a college profile that explains their AP class policy and what a rigorous curriculum looks like.[/quote]

+1 You didn’t do your research. Most elite privates offer fewer AP classes and limits them - or they offer none at all. Georgetown Day and Holton don’t offer any. NCS, as a rule, limits APs to two a year starting junior year.

You would have been better off looking at the college matriculations of these schools vs. Flint Hill. There is no comparison. If you want APs, you don’t go to DC area privates, you go to public school.
