[quote=Anonymous]I'm pretty happy.  Not 100%.  If 1 is the happiest, I'm about a 3.

Small private school in upcounty Montgomery County.  2nd grade.    I like the school because of its focus not only on academics but also on social skills.  Being a good friend is the best way to have good friends, and all of that.   The kids are actually pretty kind to each other and my son learns to work out differences in healthy ways.   It is an environment that reinforces what I try to teach at home.

I think the academics are pretty in line with MCPS.  The only big difference would be the ability to provide truly differentiated instruction.  And there is also more ability (I think) for flexibility in the curriculum.

And really personalized attention from the teachers.  I get "tons" of feedback from the teachers and really feel like more of a partner with them in helping my son get a successful education.

There are drawbacks.  Small classes can be socially smothering sometimes.   There can be weird PTA infighting/gossiping/pettiness.

I don't think any particular school is perfect.  But overall I'm happy with my son's school. [/quote]
