[quote=Anonymous]To answer your question more specifically, MCPS schools are all pretty similar. The curriculum is largely the same, the teachers have the same qualifications, the administrators move around and all go through the same training. So, the same kid will have about the same outcome in any school.

With that said, each of the schools on the list above have some subtle differences.

TPES/PBES have the focus on early/upper elementary school, and PBES has a home-school model for the Center for Enriched Studies, which means that 25 kids out of every grade are in separate classrooms for 4th and 5th and get enriched literacy.

ESSES is K-5, and the smallest of the schools on this list. It sends about 5-7 kids per year to a regional CES program for enrichment, and then home school kids have access to a local Enriched Literacy Curriculum for advanced English and Humanities.

RTES has the two-way immersion program, which means kids get the same subject in English one day and Spanish the next.

Kids in any of these three schools have access to "compacted math" or grade level math for 4th and 5th. [/quote]
