[quote=Anonymous]Another perspective on NCC: the small size of the school can also be a disadvantage. The school does not have an assistant principal, which makes it harder to mitigate the principal's weaknesses. Community members have asked central office to hire an assistant principal but I haven't seen any indication that they will do so. I'm not sure why underutilized space at NCC is an advantage - to my knowledge, they don't really use that space, and the class sizes are fairly large. The student:teacher ratios are about the same size as other MCPS schools. If your kids are 3rd grade and older and you can move to a house that is walkable to either CCES or NCC, I think either school would be fine. But if you have kids younger than 3rd grade, I would keep looking and find a K-5 school so that you have a more cohesive experience. The split from one K-2 school to two grades 3-5 schools makes it harder to find community, in my experience. [/quote]
