[quote=Anonymous]We have a Wyngate kid and an NB one (who went to Wyngate)

How has your experience been at Wyngate?
Wyngate has been lovely. The community is wonderful and the people are delightful. They have some management issues with lunch and recess and I don't like the way they have multiple grades share a lunch/recess period but besides that, I have very few complaints.

Are the teachers nice? 
I can't say that every single teacher at the school is warm and friendly but it is certainly a nice environment filled with people who love kids.

2. Any experience in how many kids go to Barnsley from Wyngate for HGC? 
I am not certain of an exact number but it's usually a couple.

3. Is bullying a concern in North Bethesda-MS? 
There was one major incident of cyberbullying a couple years ago but from what I hear, it was handled very well. There isn't a lot of bullying but the kids can, of course, be mean but I doubt you will find a middle school where that is not the case. DD once told me that a lot of people are mean to their friends but nice to everyone else, so it's just a matter of making sure your kids have good friends.

1. Is this a neighborhood where many NIH employees (scientists/administrators) live? 
I have heard that in the past there were A LOT of NIH families but I do not see an overwhelming amount now. It used to be that kids whose parents worked at NIH could go to Wyngate or Ashburton even if they live out of district but that program ended once the schools started getting so overcrowded.

2. Is there is community feeling? 
Wyngate has a really strong community but I do notice a significant divide between Wyngate, Ashburton, and Kensington Parkwood in a way I find interesting. Even now that DD is in 8th, there still seems to be a subtle division between the kids from the different neighborhoods. [/quote]
