[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not really sure what rating OP is using. It can't be any of the south Sterling schools because they do not go to a good MS/HS and OP says she does. And anyway even those schools are a 4 on Great Schools. Cool Spring in Leesburg is a 3. Sugarland is a 3. Potowmack is a 3. (The school "right behind" Potowmack could be Horizon. Its extremely close and off the same road.) So the more I think about it maybe it is Potowmack. I wish OP would just come tell us. FWIW OP I know a ton of families at Potowmack and all are happy with the school. I'm in Lowes Island. [/quote] There is a lot more to a good school than scores and school digger. Do you have a good school community? Good leadership? Happy teachers? All of that is way WAY more important and influential than other kids scores or school digger ratings. If it’s Potowmack, it serves a population of lower income students who may also be EL. That doesn’t necessarily mean OP’s kid can’t get a good education and be happy there. If it feeds into good MS/HS, it will really probably be fine. In any case, theydiffferentiate a lot, especially in k, so it’s really not worth freaking out over before your child even goes! [/quote]
