[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here:

To help give more tailored advice, our question is:

1. Move to the Eaton or Mann districts now, then move to Bethesda (Pyle or Westland) for 6th grade

2.  Move to the Wood Acres or Bradley Hills neighborhoods now, and then feed into Pyle-Whitman

WWYD? Are we silly to even consider moving twice, so that our kids get the best public school experiences at each level?

I would do Mann through 5th, then move to Pyle for 6th. Mann is a fantastic school with an extra teacher in each class. You will not get that anywhere in MCPS. But the good schools in DC, like Deal, are not as good as Pyle.

That not entirely true. At our close in Bethesda school and Im sure many others, there are breakout teachers. Yes the homeroom is one teacher but for things like reading, the class gets split into ability groups where the kids with needs go off as do the advanced kids and the core group remains all with different teachers who then rotate to the next class.  It the end the kids get the attention they need in much smaller groups not to mention lots of specialists like feelings counselors, speech therapists and so on. All without having to pay stupid high PTA dues[/quote]

Not the same thing as having 2 dedicated full-time teachers in each class. Not even close. [/quote]

Yah you're right, all those poor Bethesda kids who come out of grade school not knowing reading and math. Want to compare test scores between schools?  Or is this where you come in and say the kids are the difference:roll:  [/quote]
