[quote=Anonymous]I think some of the posters are missing the OP’s actual question which I read as “how hard is it to find your people or have a good experience if you are a non sporty boy at Potomac?” Yes, of course there are non sporty options like robotics and that’s great, but kids do need a “sweaty” sports option and, speaking from experience, that can be pretty painful if your son is not an athlete and the school is one that takes athletics seriously. HS boys on the balance are not nice to boys on the team that are not at a minimum somewhat decent contributors. Potomac plays in the MAC division and many of its teams do very well, many players go on to play in college. Athletics are a big part of the culture at Potomac. IMO a nonsporty girl would have an easier time floating or treading water so to speak on a team to fulfill their requirement. Girls’ social status seems to be less tightly aligned with their athletic prowess. [/quote]
