[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yeah, knowing people whose kids are at both, I wouldn’t say Potomac is like a public school. Teachers have a lot of availability and time to meet with students and give them feedback. The curriculum is personalized too (check out their course offerings). On the other hand, I’ve heard Bullis uses a cookie cutter curriculum that is very public school and also tracks kids just like public schools. The lunch is apparently good.[/quote]

It sounds like you only know people with kids at both schools but have no first-hand experience, yet you still felt compelled to weigh in on a subject you really don't know anything about.  I don't know anything about Potomac but I do have first-hand experience with Bullis -- two kids there.  The teachers are very approachable and available.  I wouldn't begin to comment how the academics differ from other schools because I have no first-hand knowledge of that, but we are pleased with the rigorous curriculum at Bullis without the pressure cooker environment.  We also love the small class sizes, the opportunity for foreign travel with the school, the wonderful arts program, the signature entrepreneurship program, and the welcoming community.  I am also VERY impressed with the college counselors.  They have gone above and beyond for my senior starting sophomore year.  Worth every penny right there!  If public school offers all of that, great.  [/quote]
