[quote=Anonymous]As a parent of an STA student and a Potomac student, both upper school, these days Potomac kids do get into the Ivies and other top colleges at similar rates to “Big 3” and sometimes a bit better, see last year for example.  I have the lists for all 4 privates (Sidwell NCS and STA) and Potomac is right there with the others. Oh, and lots of Big 3 kids go to UVA too although Potomac has historically sent more.   In our experience and the experience of families we know who also have/had kids at Potomac and Sidwell, NCS and/or STA, the academic curriculum in these schools’ upper school is similar.

The best coed privates in the area with no religious affiliation (although I do not consider Quaker or Episcopal school to really be religious) are GDS, Potomac and Maret, no question. Each of these three has a distinct culture/atmosphere but they are the ones you should look at OP.

Episcopal and SSSAS, while good schools, do not have equally rigorous curriculum across the board as the schools mentioned above.
