[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]From what I know…. Through both personal experience at 3 of these schools and good friends at the others…..

GDS/Sidwell
Potomac 
Maret/ Holton

Can’t comment on the others [/quote]

I think most can agree with this, though I've heard somewhat mixed things about Maret lately.[/quote]
No, no one would agree with this. No ranking would put Potomac ahead of Holton.
You too must be Potomac parents.

-No affiliation whatsoever with Holton[/quote]

Lots of families have done both Holton and Potomac.  Those I know would say Potomac is more rigorous.[/quote]

What are the steps here, like are Potomac and Holton more just private for rich status and not academic, or actually just shy of the rigor of the top of the list?[/quote]

I have had children go through both one of the Cathedral schools (STA/NCS) and Potomac. Potomac is not only not "just shy" it is every bit as rigorous. We chose it because we didn't like the pressure cooker environment of the other kid's school--Potomac is no less a pressure cooker and no less academic. The only difference is the location and there are more very wealthy NoVA families. [/quote]
