[quote=Anonymous]We are happy with every other aspect of the school. Truly. And actually my DC is as well. The teachers, without exception, are fantastic. I think that things will get better mostly because, as is often the case, things sometimes just take time. Advisor reports that DC appears to have immediately fit in and found several groups of friends to spend breaks and lunch with. So I do think DC is just feeling very sensitive.  Neither my DC or us have made an effort for things to happen outside of school--DC doesn't want to appear "desperate." I think the start of next year, DC will feel more comfortable. I will say, I have another friend who started in 7th a few years ago and reported the same thing. DC was happy enough and plenty of kids to hang out with at school, but no real bonding until 9th. What I heard from friend, and from others, is that there's real reshuffling that takes place with the arrival of a bigger group of new students and more opportunity for everyone to find their place beginning in 9th. Honestly, I would recommend Potomac to just about anybody, and if your DD is outgoing, I bet she won't have to take as much time as my DC to find her social life there. Good luck![/quote]
