[quote=Anonymous]Most of the students at Potomac are from the McLean area. There are sizable groups from Arlington, Alexandria and Great Falls and more and more from DC and MD as you get into grades 7-12. The students from areas farther out than Great Falls in VA are a minority, as are kids from MD. The school is a wonderful place, but you would need to figure out how important this is to you. The admissions staff told me that 60%, not 1/3, are from VA. In the Lower School, the VA numbers are much higher but by HS, there is more geographic diversity. I do think that you will find distance to be a factor at all schools, but yes, if you live in CC, you will be farther away for sure. Even at DC public schools, your child could have an out of boundary friend who lives all the way across the city. My daughter had a friend who lived in DC, like us, but the drive took 25-30 min so we rarely got them together for play dates.[/quote]
