[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I live in Kensington (zoned for Einstein) and love it. Things I like about it:

- Great neighbors/neighborhood (down to earth, keep their properties up very well, variety of backgrounds)
- Town feel. There are often activities going on in St. Paul's park during the summer, July 4th parade, Saturday farmer's market/live music, ongoing events at the Kensington town hall, Noyes library, great historic homes, historic town center, new + old/eclectic stores, etc.
- Proximity to DC...easy access via driving, MARC, or metro
- Schools. We love OTES as does every other family we have encountered. I have only heard good things from neighbors about Einstein (one kid is in IB, a few others are not).

We were deciding among Silver Spring, Kensington, and North Bethesda, and I am very, very glad we chose Kensington.

Not all of us love OTES.[/quote]

DP: Are you the OTES hater who pops up here?  I'm really sorry you've had a poor experience at the school.  Truly.  And that being said, there are people who have poor experiences at literally every school, everywhere.  It's not a utopia, but it's also got a lot going for it.[/quote]

No, first time I posted but I know several families unhappy.  You can have poor experiences everywhere but if you look at the curriculum compared to other schools, limited specials and field trips and much more, OTES is not comparable to some of the other local schools.  Its easy to ignore those things given they don't really want parental involvement.[/quote]
