[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is the English reading/writing education like? Finding that MCPS does not have strengths in this area. Thank you![/quote] The 6th-grade English teacher is a published writer and former college/university professor. The 7th/8th grade English teacher has been there for over 15 years, and her classes are typically writing and discussion-based. Almost all 7th/8th-grade teachers organize courses that are freshman year-level material, and alumni consistently report honors class preparedness.[/quote] Current WES parent here. The school is amazing at recruiting talented faculty. Especially in the 7th and 8th grade years, the teachers expect constant improvement and self-advocacy. High school preparedness is consistently mentioned in classes.[/quote]
