Yes, aside from TJ, the list of admissions from VA high schools is underwhelming.

I mean, there are lots of students in VA high schools whose parents aren't attorneys or consultants living by the country club. Where do you think the kids of lower-income, first-gen families end up going to college? Many of them go to NVCC, GMU, VCU. You don't see these schools on the admissions lists at Potomac and St. Stephen's because there are very few students from lower-income families there. But of course you know this; I'm sure it's why you are interested in private school in the first place.[/quote]

Hi, OP here.  This seems like it was directed at me, but I’m not the person who made the comment you are responding to (about underwhelming colleges).  My kids are too little to think about college (in my mind anyway!) I think my concerns have been alleviated by the first few posts in this thread, and I’m excited to see the new elementary school take shape.  I’m not sure we would be at Potomac or St Stephen/St Agnes even if we did look at other options.[/quote]
