Yes. Also East Silver Spring feeds to TPMS and Blair and has some great neighborhoods.[/quote]

TPES is huge. 12-13 K classes? Haven’t they taken over every special classroom for more sections?

ESS has...4-5. [/quote]

TPES had 623 students last year, making it not especially large for an MCPS elementary school. ESS had 539. The K-2/3-5 split schools just have more sections per grade than the other schools. Looks like TPES has just 10 K teachers listed.[/quote]

TPES has 629 k-2. ESS has 539 k-5. They do have more sections per grade, making the school seem bigger. I had heard from another parent that in the latest expansion the music room was taken over, I didn’t independently verify. [/quote]

And to be specific - TPES has 2.5x kids per grade than ESS. That would feel bigger to me, but. YMMV.

Bigger per grade, sure.  But with no 3rd-5th graders in the building, the overall student population is comparable to other average-sized schools.  [/quote]
