Hi, new poster here. I only have preschool age kids so have not experienced MCPS yet. How do Rockville schools fare in the overcrowding department? Reading all these posts of overcrowded schools is making me nervous! I can say though that I do believe the DC area has so much more job opportunities than other areas such as NY/NJ/PA as well as more reasonable housing opportunities in some cases, so much of the growth is likely also just coming from other areas of the country who find the DC area to be a good place to live with more opportunities for their families. Anyway, being that I have not experienced the schools firsthand yet, I would love some input on how the Rockville schools are in terms of overcrowding. Is this an issue? Thats where my kids will be in school.[/quote]
Depends on where in Rockville.  Title 1/Focus schools have smaller class sizes.  The rest are bursting at the seams.  There is some expansion in ES going on - Barnsley is adding additional classrooms, RM cluster is supposed to add another ES in the next couple of years.

However, most people, myself included like Rockville. It's a good mix of SES and ethnicity.[/quote]

Thanks for your input. Do you know anything about Wood MS and Rockville HS in terms of crowding? How about Barnsley or Flower Valley elementary schoools? Thanks![/quote]
Start with here. It will give you a general idea of school size

I have heard good things about Barnsely.  It houses the HGC which causes the student body size to be huge.[/quote]
