[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Class sizes- Large but depends on grade. Sometimes you get lucky and there are just enough students for an extra class which brings the number per class down. K usually in the 20s.

Parents- Very active PTA.
Are parents involved?

Diversity- Yes they mix but there are so few that you will find that all the black families know each other and socialize and the same for the Asian families, etc. That mostly impacts playdates for the younger grades because they sometimes invite the children of parents they know. Less of an issue as they grow older as the kids pick their own friends and it doesn't seem to have anything to do with race or ethnic background.

[b]Teach to test- All MCPS schools do this.[/b]
Cut off- School can't do anything about red-shirting. MCPS policy allows for this and they must abide. Did not find too many children red shirted.

Aftercare- I think it's not very popular.

No, they teach to the MCPS curriculum, which is aligned to the Common Core standards, as is the test (in this case, PARCC). Note that the PARCC tests don't start until third grade.[/quote]
