[quote=Anonymous]Just to clarify - 5th grade is in the elementary schools. The middle schools are 6th-8th (although there are a couple of elem schools that go through 6th). So you would be looking at elementary school for next year, and MS after that. I dont think there is too much overcrowding at the middle schools right now. But they are very large. Pyle is about 1300 kids. Westland is slightly smaller. I don't think either is at capacity. Much larger than the DCPS middle schools, even Deal. Both are worth looking at as they are both good schools and feed into strong high schools. While MCPS is dialing back the math acceleration I think it will still be allowed/encouraged for kids who are truly accelerated. They just won't be pushing as many kids ahead. In our cluster kids working 2 years ahead is pretty normal (algebra 1 in 7th grade) and there are some who are 3 years ahead (algebra 1 in 6th grade, and taking math at the high school in 8th grade).[/quote]
