[quote=Anonymous]This board really loves to trash Congressional. I have a kid in middle school there who transferred from public, and we are very happy with the school. Things my kid really likes are smaller classes but larger physical space. Teachers really take advantage of the whole campus, like using the physical space for science experiments. There are many more opportunities for electives. They didn't have to decide on just one elective for the whole year. Sports are available to everyone. The teachers know my kid really well and have provided a supportive environment for them to thrive. The homework isn't insane so there's plenty of time for after-school activities. The classes are only 50 minutes long except for occasional longer blocks and I find my kid retaining a lot more information compared to the 80 minute block classes in the previous school. The grades are small, but my kid found their people and is really happy there.[/quote]
