[quote=Anonymous]Substantively, differences between Pine Crest and Oak View: Pine Crest = heavy homework load; one 4th grade teacher who is known for being quite strict. Oak View = school proactively does not believe in too much homework and does believe in the kids having other life interests. Child will tell you that he thinks math is stronger at Pine Crest and reading/writing is stronger at Oak View. But that's just because he wishes MCPS math would go faster. Both Oak View HGC teachers are fantastic. Oak View has an intimate feel. It is perfect for a child who doesn't particularly like large and overwhelming environments. It does not have onsite before/after care. The classroom projects do seem to vary by teacher. I've heard of different projects between teachers at Pine Crest and between Pine Crest and Oak View. Can't speak at all to differences between these two schools and Drew, but I can say that my child is happy at Oak View and many of his friends and his brothers' friends have loved Pine Crest.
