potomac is a great school they have a new lower school and it is the best school ever.It has a great community and they always have a smile on there face.
I have two children at The Potomac School and my children, my wife and I could not be happier. My wife and I both went to prestigious private high schools in different cities and Potomac has surpassed our high expectations. The school is demanding academically, but in a positive encouraging way. The teachers push the kids to achieve their maximum potential that potential that few children have the confidence to recognize without encouragement and mentoring. In Potomac s demanding, but positive environment my children have grown in multiple dimensions. I cannot recommend Potomac strongly enough.
Potomac is an excellent school with top notch academics and a fantastic facility. Despite the recent growth, Potomac still has the feeling of a small caring school. I LOVE the academic rigor of the high school, but sometimes a few teachers forget they're teaching children who are 14/15...not college students.
Have had 4 kids in 5 priv DC schools, incl all 4 divisions of this school from K through HS senior. This is an academically excellent and v family-oriented sch that puts hi priority on developing the whole child, & esp on promoting basic values of honesty, integrity, and responsibility of the individual to society. Rules are clear & consequences are fair. High points: Committed, innovative teachers and solid K-12 curriculum; an unusually involved and supportive parent community volunteers liberally; an extensive bus system & scholarship structure tries(+/-) to combat the inherent lack of socio-economic diversity in private schools; music & arts programs are supported enthusiastically throughout all levels. The only 3 areas where I would like to see improvement are 1) offer foreign language before the 7th grade, 2) emphasize sensitivity to & tolerance of learning differences, and 3) challenge HS instrumentalists with higher expectations.
