[quote=Anonymous]I am a Somerset parent with two kids who have recently gone through Kindergarden. I cannot say enough good things about the teachers, the school facility, the PTA and the fellow students. I am not in the Friendship Heights buildings but I know many of the families that are and there's much bonding at the bus stops or on the walk to school. My kids have friends from many different countries and there are at least 5-6 different languages spoken in the classroom which adds to very interesting cultural discussions. The class size can vary from about 23-27 kids but they have a great system of pulling out kids from class to go to a special reading teacher which makes the class size essentially smaller during this important kindergarten year for early readers. A bunch of kids also leave the class for ESOL (English as a Second Language) essentially leaving a much smaller class size. Another plus for MCSP - if your child is potentially "gifted" there is a special Highly Gifted program that starts in 4th grade that your student can test into. For Somerset in particular, the school is very nearby. Feel free to ask me any questions and I'll try to answer. I also came from the Horace Mann area and moved so we wouldn't have to face the middle school move. We also really like the physical plant of Somerset as compared to HM.[/quote]
