[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The whole notion of "excellence" being used to describe an elementary school is such a change from when we were growing up.  Back in the day I remember people describing schools as nice.  And that meant it was a good school.  Is the whole country wrapped up in this obsession with demographics and test scores as a short hand way of determining if an elementary school sets itself apart as excellent?  Or is it just a regional thing?  Reading this thread one thing is clear - [b]there is not a consensus about silver spring schools.[/quote][/b]
Well, part of that is because there are many, many schools in Silver Spring due to the size of Silver Spring. However, reading this thread the general consensus among those who actually sent their kids to school in Silver Spring is that there are many fine Silver Spring schools. Maybe there were one or two posters with actual, recent experience who disagreed, but pretty much everyone with real and recent experience had good things to say.[/quote]
