[quote=Anonymous]If you have a girl, consider Holton-Arms. Sixth grade is still lower school and your child would have a chance to get acclimated to Holton before beginning middle. My US DD started in 6th after K-5 at MCPS and has done wonderfully. Holton MS teachers actually want to teach middle schoolers (the good, the bad, and the ugly) and it shows. Plus the 6th graders can now participate in MS sports even though they are still technically LS (a change from when my DD began). I'm not a rah rah Holton parent, it has its issues and is not the same school that it was when we began there and I am not a huge fan of higher admin. I am thrilled, however, with my child's education and progress. No doubt that she will be very well prepared for college, both academically and socio-emotionally.[/quote]
