[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Clopper Mill has a lot of challenges.   [b]I have several friends who live there and they all send their kids to private school. [/b]   The middle school, Roberto Clemente, is pretty good and has a magnet program in it.   My friends with kids at Northwest have been happy too.[/quote]

So they actually know nothing first-hand about Clopper Mill, because their children don't go there? I knew somebody who lived in one of the non-poor areas that is zoned for Clopper Mill, and she refused out of hand to send her child there. She never even set foot in the place, and from what she said, none of her neighbors ever did either. Too many poor, brown kids.

OP, Clopper Mill is a Title I school.  That means that

1. There are lots of poor kids who go there.
2. Class sizes for K-2 are small.

Here is the MCPS summary sheet for Clopper Mill: http://www.montgomeryschoolsmd.org/departments/regulatoryaccountability/glance/currentyear/schools/02100.pdf

Are there high-poverty schools in MCPS that are well-run, with good teachers? There certainly are, just as there are badly-run schools with bad teachers in Bethesda and Potomac. Is Clopper Mill a well-run, good-teacher high-poverty school? I don't know, unfortunately. I hope that somebody with first-hand experience with Clopper Mill will post.
