[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And to other posters, I'd say the difference with say, Potomac, is more philosophy on K-8 providing leadership opportunities, no high school influence, etc. The schools are similar below high school and while Potomac is a popular option with graduating Langley students, many students also prefer the DC schools.[/quote]

If in Potomac before Upper School, then one can stay for Upper School without the pressure of the mandatory transition.

And, because Potomac breaks K-8 into 3 separate schools (Lower = k-3; middle=4-6; intermediate=7-8), which have separate leadership, staff, and buildings, most would say that Potomac equally offers leadership opportunities across the same grades (k-8) as Langley or any other school.

And many graduating Langley students apply to all/most of the top 5-6 local privates, as a kind of insurance to increase the chance that DC will get into at least one academically challenging private.  This is important because Upper School admissions at many schools is so crazy competitive - tough even before the pandemic and tougher now.
