[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Soccer isn’t a real drawing card at most of these schools. They have an abundance of soccer players.

At some football, lacrosse and basketball impact athletes get their attention.

And kids develop at different paces. The best 6th and 7th graders sometimes fizzle out in high school while others blossom.

The best indicator of likely athletic talent are the athletic careers of his or her parents. [/quote]

I am not so much looking for a place where his athletics are a boost.  Just a place where a kid like him would be happy and have time to do both sports and art.  [/quote]

Pretty much any school in the IAC or MAC or your local public.[/quote]

Really?  I read a thread about the amount of HW in the big 3’s that pretty much convinced me that there is no way a kid could do that and sports and another time consuming extracurricular like art.

I want someplace where academics are strong but not all consuming and he can do what he loves.[/quote]

Art could be a major part of the school day curriculum. At Potomac there is a whole concentration for it that is done during the school day and the winter athletics block. Look for the visual arts concentration on their website. [/quote]
I always thought Potomac was a pressure cooker.  During the winter Athletics block is there less of a workload?[/quote]
