[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We couldn’t imagine spending extra for Potomac. The Langley and McLean pyramids are fantastic and, as for the intangibles, exposure to a broader range of students and activities (especially in the McLean pyramid) more than compensated for the additional attention that an individual student might receive at Potomac.  I don’t expect a Potomac parent to say the additional tens of thousands in tuition spent was a waste, but please know there are many of us who could have easily afforded Potomac or another private and decided to invest more in public education.[/quote]

I have to respectful disagree.  I have kids @both Langley HS and Potomac, only because DD did not get accepted by Potomac.  You can attend Langley HS if you live in Langley zone.  Potomac is by invitation only.  I can envison that my straight A DD from Langley will struggle in college while my other DD @Potomac will do just fine even though she is just an B student at Potomac.  Potomac prepares you for college much better than FCPS, IMHO.

I like to compare Potomac to an Audi A8 and FCPS Langley HS to a Honda Accord.[/quote]

I think the point is that your Potomac DD would end up equally well regardless of whether she attended Potomac or Langley. To use the car analogy, both the Audi and the Honda would get you from point A to point B. Some people can easily afford an Audi but would still buy the Honda. [/quote]
