[quote=Anonymous]Potomac is an incredible school. The students who come there esp those who come after seventh are very impressive. I think some of the K arrival students are also in that category but the school is so hard to get into that you really have to be bright and have some other talent to get in the later years. It is not just about having a good wpssi and being well behaved. You cannot compare it to a public school. No way. The public schools are so crowded that teachers just cannot give the same amount as in a private school format esp in areas where there is a lot of writing. Can you imagine how hard to get deep in long form papers when you have so many students. I used to think maybe it would be better to be in public for hs because of the athletics but most talented athletes play their sports on a club level so hs sports are a second consideration. Any way it is a great school and spouse and I wanted public to be the right choice and it was for younger years but as they get older. No. Private is better and a private like Potomac definitely worth the money.[/quote]
