[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We looked at Potomac during elementary/middle school for our Arlington Public schools kids. Both did a shadow day and found that the level of the curriculum was behind what they were doing in public school. [/quote] We also found this to be the case. [/quote] Public school notoriously move kids faster in math levels, but not deeper. Trust me, Potomac School curriculum is much more rigorous than Arlington Public Schools. It is a pressure cooker with very high expectations for performance.[/quote] I know kids who went to Potomac from APS - most of them weren't top of the class students. But their parents were loaded.[/quote] Potomac School has higher average college entrance exam scores than any non magnet public school.[/quote] Yeah the whole Arlington public schools thing is a joke made by parents who can’t afford Arlington houses but live their “for the schools”. No. APS is not “better” than Potomac. Just silly. [/quote] Silly like not knowing the difference between there and their? Or some other kind of silly?[/quote]
