[quote=Anonymous]We have a child at St. B's (now our third year) and have been very happy with the academics. They differentiate instruction in reading, math and spelling from the earliest grades. I was very impressed with the amount of writing done in first grade. I thought science was very well-done too. Classes are small (most under 20) but there are two per grade so the kids can be re-mixed every year and benefit from lots of teacher attention. Overall the school is very well-run. The best value for your money in grade school Catholic education in southern MoCo, in my opinion. I can't comment on the Woodmoor parent social scene as much since we do not live in Woodmoor, but we are members of the parish and found it the most welcoming of all the ones we attended when we first moved to Silver Spring. The best way to find out about it is to come tour the school (anytime). You can get a decent feel for the social scene by coming to a "Friday night on the field", which is K-2 soccer practice and a big social event for kids in all grades (and parents) - Fridays from 5:30-8ish thru Sept/October on the field behind the school. Good luck with your decision![/quote]
