[quote=Anonymous]One difference: For the Blair group of schools, your soon-to-be kindergartener would attend Montgomery Knolls from K-2 and then Pine Crest from 3-5, as my children did (we are in the same cluster). While it's something of an inconvenience if your kids are a couple of years apart and still at different schools, yours would probably not have been at the same elementary school for more than one or maybe two years given the age difference so it's less of a consideration for you. We really, really liked the paired schools. At MKES, the teachers, media center, facilities, PE, everything is oriented toward little kids, and there are no "big" 11-year-olds on the same school bus as your 5-year-old. Then at PCES, the faculty specialize in grades 3-5, and the school really "gets" and celebrates this age group. This was a big plus for us. It does mean that you can't walk to all of elementary school, as you'll either be walkable to one or the other, but not both. (They are about 1.5 miles away from each other with the Beltway overpass in the middle.)[/quote]
