[quote=Anonymous][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] WES is a great school for students with learning challenges, and there are many middle school students who need and get extra support. The school is easy going on workload, with lots of grace shown on late or missing assignments. [/quote]
