[quote=Anonymous]I don't have NMMS experience, but have had 2 kids at Einstein, one currently. It has not been a high pressure school. My kids have less than an hour of homework most nights, sometimes less. There are no class ranks (in MCPS overall I think), no focus on getting into "good" colleges, more of an encouraging everyone to look into college vibe, with a big college fair being an annual tradition.There is an IB diploma program and a lot of kids take some IB classes a la carte. Also many students interested in the arts, especially visual and theater/dance. We have not personally experienced bullying, but I'm sure it is a problem everywhere. There have been some staffing problems this year, given the teacher shortage and a couple math teachers who left unexpectedly due to family reasons. The principal has been open about the situation and attends the monthly PTSA meetings with progress reports.[/quote]
