[quote=Anonymous]There’s really not “teaching to the test” at RHES. Most standardized testing is not conducted for primary grades. And any teacher checks they do to determine reading level or whatnot they would also be doing in most private schools.

I’m not sure what supplementing you think you might not be able to do, but you really don’t need to do anything other than provide your kids books either at home or from the library. It’s not high pressure at those ages.

Rosemary Hills is a great school. My kids attended pre-pandemic so my experience is older, but I can also offer a little more wisdom about MCPS. The teachers, many of whom are still there, are outstanding. My kids came in above grade level, and they were given appropriately challenging differentiated work. It would have been a royal waste of money to have done private for K-2 for our family. I can see the value in private middle school for some kids because MCPS isn’t as challenging from a curricular standpoint as it could be. High school is light years away for your kids and I don’t think anyone has a crystal ball to know if it will be the same or different 10+ years from now. [/quote]
