[quote=Anonymous]DC was at Congressional from 5th through 8th (MS) and loved it. The grade size is about 35 give or take all four years, but that was fine. But I could see if being very dependent on the actual mix of kids in your given year — although I think thats true anywhere.

DC is now at a k-12 for HS that Congressional routinely sends multiple kids to each year. That’s actually kind of fun, because even though they spread out into the much larger class size (about 120 per grade), they often know people a grade above or below them already, too.

Socially DC was happy at Congressional.

Academically, it was wonderful, in our experience. There was only one teacher that DC really didn’t click with personality/teaching approach-wise, but that was a good lesson in learning how to manage different personality types. DC got an excellent foundation in all the core classes and has really appreciated it as those subjects come up in HS classes. Even better, Congressional did a great job in teaching students how to learn — study skills, time management, self-advocacy, etc, that have been hugely helpful. DC also got to experience a wide range of electives and extra curriculars that helped them figure out what they really enjoyed, so they signed up right away for those activities in HS which was a great way to meet people as a new freshman.

All in all, we (parents and kid) were delighted with the experience in Congressional’s MS. [/quote]
