[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are considering switching our DD (rising 6th grader) to private school for 7th grade and are exploring Potomac and Holton. We understand that our DD needs to get accepted first but we’re looking for some insight. We are relatively equidistant from both schools and comfortable with either co-ed or single gender schools.

Looking at each of their school profiles which highlights college matriculation, SAT/ACT scores, class size, teacher years of experience, they both seem to be relatively similar (Holton being better in some years while Potomac being better in others). However, it seems Potomac is more widely known or sought after. Honestly asking to understand, is this because of stronger academics or otherwise?

Can folks share any perspective on which of these two schools they’ve found to be stronger when it comes to academic rigor, college destination and readiness? [/quote]
You should definitely apply to both, OP. It may be that one of these schools is overenrolled for your DD’s grade and has several kids competing for few spots or that your DD has a particularly positive experience at one school over the other. It can’t hurt to cast a wide net. [/quote]
