Great teachers and challenging curriculum. Amazing extracurriculars, with terrific college counseling program.

11/13/2021

I graduated this school back in 2019. As an African American male, I was the black sheep of the group. I was one of a couple black students in my class. I could never make any friends. I was bullied constantly from the Trump supporting white rich kids in the hallways. I had to try my very hardest to get equal respect from the teachers. The other kids wouldn't have to do anything and the teachers would like them. I would do the same thing as them and get yelled at. If you are a white kid. Go ahead, it is a school for you. If you are any other race besides Caucasian, do not go to this school. Avoid it at all costs.

This is not at all an inclusive, healthy environment. Very cliquish, high stress and discriminatory. Although praised as one of the best schools in the DC area, it is not worth the hype!!

4/20/2015

After three years at the Potomac School we are finally leaving. If you do not fit into their cookie cutter mold (person of color, LGBT, lower socio-economic status, special needs, etc.) you need not apply. Although they promote diversity, it is a marketing ploy. You WILL experience discrimination an...
