[quote=Anonymous]One of the biggest differences between the schools is that RHPS is k-2 (kids go to either Chevy Chase or North Chevy Chase for 3-6) and Somerset is K-5.

RHPS has been great for two of our kids so far.  (3rd kid isn't there yet.)  The school is large, but the teachers and administrators do a great job of making it a comfortable place.  They know everyone's name and teacher.  The first time I arrived to pick up my then-first grader by car, the teacher who took my child's name knew right away that he usually took a bus and knew the bus number!  Our teachers have been caring and creative.  They're great at classroom management too, which was an initial concern of mine.  Finally, I like the k-2 environment because the school really caters to kids that age -- the library collection is appropriate; all of them can relate to school assemblies; and the playground is the right level for those ages.  Same can be said for CCES, which is where my oldest is now.

I have a few issues with the curriculum, especially the lack of differentiation and challenge in math, but that's more of a county issue that I expect we'd see at any MoCo school.

Happy to answer more specific questions if you have them.[/quote]
