[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Longtime reader, first time poster. Full disclaimer- I know there are Rosemary Hill threads already.

My family is looking at a house on Woodbine St.  Even if we don't get that house- there are likely others that will appear in the RH school district.

We are currently in DC and their are DC houses are also high on our list. We have not yet decided to "cross the border" -- and to give you an idea we are in Petworth. Diversity is not a concern.

How does a Rosemary Hills compare to a Lafayette? Janney? Garrison or Barnard?

This forum does not seem to be fond of Rosemary Hills but hopeful someone can give some insight when comparing it to DCPS.

What about Chevy Chase Elementary once 3rd grade starts?

Really trying to get an idea if the school for this region should be why we continue to focus our search on DCPS or another part of MoCo. [/quote]

We moved to the RHES/CCES catchment from DC. We had two years in DCPS — one in our neighborhood DCOS for PK3 and one in a WOTP DCPS as an out of boundary student (back when that was possible). We have been through RHES, CCES, and are now in SCMS for our older one, and our younger one is at RHES now.

We have had a generally positive experience. RHES in particular is nice because there is no high-stakes testing (MCAP). It’s also going to have smaller classes next year due to focus status. We were told class sizes will be 19, definitely no more than 20.

There is no question to me that this area is better than Garrison and Barnard. Those are schools that have difficulty retaining upper ES kids because people want to get to a better feeder pattern.

I think for ES, Lafayette and Janney will be better because both schools have PTAs throat pay for extra staff. That is not allowed in MCPS.

We know friends with kids at Deal who like it, so I’m sure that is fine. Silver Creek has been great for my kid. I do think people are happier at B-CC than at J-R.

You asked about CCES. It’s a great school. My favorite so far.[/quote]
