Hello,
Our family is moving to Bethesda from the SF Bay Area and I would love to know if any current PS parents are willing to share their K-1 experience at BES. We toured 3 schools recently and it was such a breath of fresh air compared to what we see here, Seven Locks, Bethesda ES, and Wyngate all seemed to have really thoughtful admins and were very honest about areas they want to improve.
Hoping to pick this thread back up re: overcrowding to see if any current K - 1 Bethesda ES parents can share how they have navigated the overcrowding. We toured with 3 other families and we all felt that the PTA at Bethesda ES did a great job with the tour, but we couldn’t fully grasp how well our kids would do or what kind of teacher support was available for the overcrowding. The ratio is listed as 14:1 on Great Schools but I am not sure if that is correct for BES. Seven Locks seemed to have a smaller ratio with 16 kids in K on average we were told. Sharing this in case it is helpful for any other families in a similar situation currently touring. Also our son is a rising 1st and very stem focused, we saw maker labs at Seven Locks and Wyngate but maybe missed this at BES. Is there a strong stem component at all of the schools? Thanks
