[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Tell me about Potomac. Looking to start our DC in K. How do you rate the academics in comparison to, say, St. Albans'? (We are not looking for all boys, but have heard St. Albans to be high-tier academically). Thanks for any and all observations on Potomac![/quote]

OP here - so husband was Hotchkiss and I was top 3 NYC prep. We don’t want Quaker or Catholic or single sex. What is the best (academically) for us here in DC area? We live in McLean. [/quote]

Potomac. Seriously. Great school. [/quote]

If you are in McLean there shouldn't even be a question. No reason to haul down to DC for similar standard unless you want single sex/religious. You'll gain 100 hours of your life back every year for quality family time or academic enrichment time vs commuting time.  [/quote]

OP, this thread is premature. It isn’t as if you choose in advance. You first apply to see where you are able to secure admissions and then assess your choices based on what opportunities you have. These are all very competitive, and comparably good schools and chances even for the most connected are far from a sure thing...take it one step at a time. [/quote]

+1 We are in Virginia and my DC loved Potomac for 9th.  Guess who didn’t get it in? So we drive into DC for a Cathedral school. Child ended up very happy, but I wouldn’t assume your child will get into Potomac. [/quote]
