[quote=Anonymous]Where are you moving from? What kind of school/school culture? Chevy Chase Elementary is incredibly strict and authoritarian. Careful looking for the "best" schools. Best scores does not mean best schools as far as a pleasant, nurturing community. These are not schools that educate the whole child. I deeply regret we did not move to a more laid back area like parts of Silver Spring or Takoma Park. Kensington might be a better bet for you. School is a bit more of a community with an arts focus and HS is very good--it's also more international. There are a lot of NIH-affiliated families in that area (northern part of Bethesda and Kensington and Garrett Park area). CCES is not international. This is not the most walkable area either. Takoma Park is more walkable. Downtown Bethesda is quite sterile and uninteresting after the first few ice cream cones.[/quote]
