[quote=Anonymous]Having not being to this forum for more than 3 years.  Still, totally unplanned, I went through all the posts in this topic.

As a CSES parent, I have to warn you a couple of things. 
- This is a "traditional" school.  Teachers do teach, there is a fair amount of homework and teachers do grade  homework, teachers are responsible just like what I had 30 years ago.  If students do not work on their classwork or homework, they do get a bad grade.  This is not the case in many MCPS elementary schools today.  Well, I do know a number of elementary schools and did visit more than 10 in the area.  :-)
- The Cold Spring CES (formally called HGC) is the hardest one to get in among all MCPS CESs.  If you put your bet on CES, you are against all odds.  But, this is a "traditional" school, your kids won't miss anything even if they are not in CES.  They will learn a lot.

CSES was the first elementary school that my family visited.  My wife and I did not choose the school at the first sight.  However, it turns out that CSES offers the best trade off if it is within the budget.

- 15-25 min less each way (Travillah / Stone Mill) during early traffic hours to DC/VA.  
- ~35 min to DC center via GWMP when there is no traffic. 
- A few minutes to Montgomery Mall. 
- With sidewalk pretty much everywhere, walking to school is a valid option.
- Cabin John MS changed its principal 18 months ago and recently, got #1 in Niche ranking among all Maryland middle school.
