[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Noting that there’s a new principal next year, Somerset is great due to its size and community feel. It’s BCC, but I personally think BCC is a better school with better offerings (eg IB program)[/quote]

Yes, Somerset is like 350 kids now down from 650, due to the exodus under the previous principal and also the boundary change which sent many of their kids to westbrook. The new principal (who just started) seems amazing and actually the whole leadership team has changed over (so they have a new counselor and a new AP). I think given problems under old principal as far as bullying, meanness, etc. they are really prioritizing SEL and DEI now more than is typical for other schools in the area.  [/quote]

Very interesting.  I was coming on here to say

Bethesda ES
Westland MS (Awesome!)
B-CC (Excellent outcomes, excellent for mix-and-match AP, Honors, ADV and IB, better with the new administration)

We went to Somerset ES under the principal who appears to be leaving while friends went to Bethesda ES.  She was not an effective leader and the parent group is filled with a bunch of difficult to corral social climbing moms.  Friends at Bethesda ES raved about the inclusiveness and academic support, diversity of students and parents and how the larger school allowed for more social movement than what we experienced at Somerset ES.
