[quote=Anonymous]My daughter goes to Chevy Chase ES.

I was mostly impressed with the teachers. Very enthusiastic and dedicated to fostering curiosity and critical thinking skills for the students. Not that the teachers are our old school were bad at all, but they could only do so much with a heterogeneous class and a mediocre curriculum. Here the teachers really come into their own because they love to teach bright kids and have some freedom with special projects.

The CES Zooms were much less problematic than other live online lessons my kids attended. Having a group of kids who mostly pay attention and can trouble shoot many problems themselves instead of creating more issues is just priceless in a remote learning environment!

Two drawbacks we observed were the very long bus rides for certain children coming from far away (more than an hour!); as well as some behavioral problems. Not as many as there were in her home school, but just a reminder that being smart doesn't mean you can't have emotional or psychiatric issues, of course. The child in question did their level best, the school handled it very well, the family too, so no complaints. These things just happen sometimes.

Please consider it, OP. I don't know the Piney Branch CES at all, but I imagine the teacher quality and curriculum freedom will be similar.
