[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We applied Potomac (only) and got WL x2. Found them to be helpful and communicative throughout the process. Only thing that surprised us quite a bit was the 1:1 session with our K was extremely basic, with exercises on the order of drawing a shape using the right color crayon. I know it wasn't supposed to be an entirely academic evaluation, but still it was just surprised they weren't asking at least SOME questions to get a better handle on where DC was at in terms of math, reading, writing, etc.[/quote] That’s not the Potomac MO to have super advanced kids in elementary/lower school. They want emotionally well adjusted kids who are well suited for the SEL learning, etc To other poster : It’s not based on wealth either, some super wealthy families with academically advanced K kids got waitlisted (no spot). A lot of sibling and legacy entries for K this year [/quote]
