[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a child at Newport Mill. It’s been good so far (7th grade). There is some homework/studying/projects outside of class, but the teachers try to limit it. My child is a procrastinator so sometimes has “homework” that is really just work that wasn’t finished in class. The school offers advanced history and math tracks, which I believe is standard across mcps middle schools, but the classes and teachers have been great and the work appropriately challenging. I think the school does a good job of trying to be supportive. The teachers and counselors I’ve interacted with have been very approachable and helpful. A common complaint you’ll hear across mcps schools is that all English is advanced, which waters it down. My take is that it’s more what you make of it, and motivated kids can get an advanced-level experience out of it if they are so inclined. The English classes also have 2 teachers per class, which in my opinion gives it a collaborative feel and means the kids get more attention. I think middle school can be a hard time for kids overall, but my child has been comfortable at Newport Mill, has made friends, and has had caring teachers. I’ve never heard of any bullying issues. I’m happy with the school. My child plans to select Einstein in the DCC lottery when the time comes. [/quote]

Thanks so much! This is very encouraging. Do you know about how much time is needed per week for the work they do send home as homework?[/quote]
