[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We looked at Potomac during elementary/middle school for our Arlington Public schools kids. Both did a shadow day and found that the level of the curriculum was behind what they were doing in public school. [/quote] We also found this to be the case. [/quote] Pretty simple. Wealthier kids who go too private at K tend to have had nannies et al until K, whereas many families in public school do pre-K, which means at those early ages public school kids usually read sooner and do math , so there is a substantial catch up phase to get everyone on the same track. But Potomac and pretty much all school it all evens out around 3-4th grades and then you see the shift to more rigor.[/quote]
