[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You seem to still be seeking information about Woodmoor schools--the ES for grades 3-5 is Pine Crest.  I used to work there.  I would not send my child there.  Most of the teachers (at least back when I worked there) were wonderful, but PPs have mentioned that most Woodmoor families do not actually send their children to Pine Crest, and this is overwhelmingly true.  In the years that I worked there, I had an average of 2 out of 27-30 students who lived in Woodmoor in my class.  Most others came from apartment buildings further away.  There is a center for the highly gifted at the school, but that is only two classes per grade level and slots are competitive.

I do think the neighborhood is beautiful and I have some friends who live in the neighborhood and love it.  They have very young children though, and haven't had to worry about schools.[/quote]
How long ago did you work at Pinecrest? Why would you not send your children there? surely, there is more to it than the fact that it pulls from other neighborhoods and has kids who live in apartments, right? I don't live in the neighborhood,and have no first hand experience with Montgomery Knolls and Pinecrest. But i do live nearby, and have several friends who live in Woodmoor. They all send their kids to the public school and they seem to like it. I hope some Woodmoor families will chime in on the schools issue.[/quote]

I am not the teacher pp, but am one of the prior pp Woodmoor residents - my kids are not school age yet, however, I was talking to a mom whose kids are at pinecrest, and she said something similar - although the proportion was not as out of whack as mentioned above.  I do think more and more families in the neighborhood (as everywhere) are sending their kids to the public schools.[/quote]
