[quote=Anonymous]Great elementary school! Great teachers (of all ages, men and women, race, experience, background), very competently led. It's a regular DCPS (classroom teachers, aids, specials including PE/health, art, music, library, and now Spanish) but has a few things that stand out as different because Maury enjoys some autonomy: There is an extra specials teacher, who does science/think tank; it goes by Singapore Math rather than Everyday Math, Creative Curriculum is its early childhood program. The school is involved in many recurring partnerships that particular grade levels engage in, some taking them as far away s Detroit but mostly in the DC area. Within the classroom and throughout the school, there is a lot of differentiation going on, whereby those who are ahead get added challenges and those who need it get intervention, which is very well organized and woven into the classroom.

Note that the answer to your question about "the program they offer" really depends on the grade level. Preschool does not have the same "program" as upper grades but it all meshes very well and abides by what I described above. I'd say if you're looking for an PS3-5th option and are committed to staying through all the years, there is possibly no better "pick". But the early childhood classes are very hard to get in, hard now even from within its boundaries.[/quote]
