[quote=Anonymous]I've had kids at Lafayette, RHPS and CCES, though I will admit that our Lafayette days were a while ago!

We found that there were a lot of similarities between Lafayette and RHPS. Some good teachers, some bad. Some great administrators, others not so much. The PP who pointed out that the Lafayette PTA can fund a lot more is right on, although much of the music/specials education is funded by MCPS. You're missing out on a teacher's aid in the younger grades or Spanish (not sure if that's still there).

I do think that CCES was very strong, while our DCPS friends found Lafayette to be a lot weaker at the upper elementary levels. I had one kid do the magnet program, but the other two were in the regular program. They make efforts to socialize the two groups from year to year, but both programs are strong for their different groups of students. What you get at CCES gen ed is the same program you find at other MCPS schools.  Many of our Lafayette friends bailed in 4th grade and even more after 5th.

I've only had one kid go through Silver Creek and it is as well organized as a middle school can be! That's a tough age. My contacts in DCPS have dwindled, so our comparisons are lower at that level, but I think we are happier with Silver Creek than our DC friends are with Deal (and definitely better than those we know at Hardy).

All of that is a long way to say that the schools here are good, at least at the elementary level. If you like the house, they're worth a try![/quote]
