[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thank you all again. Seems like ssims in addition to takoma and sligo could be good options. Easten seems a bit less desirable. It is good to have more choices.  For ssims, how are the various feeders? Sounds like sligo creek and forest knolls are well regarded. What about highland view and rolling terrace?

To a pp.  We like takoma ms but houses (and taxes) may be too high![/quote]

Highland View is extremely well regarded, FWIW. The administration is apparently amazing, according to my friends who teach there. They are getting an expansion soon, which will help alleviate overcrowding, and the school culture just seems really great.

Sligo Creek ES is an interesting case. It is much less diverse than nearby schools, which is the result of both the presence of the French Immersion program and some pretty gerrymandered boundaries. The previous principal was not popular with teachers or parents, and the new principal seems well-meaning but is very much cut from MCPS bureaucratic cloth. Maybe he'll grow into the job - it's been a weird year.

Rolling Terrace is enormous, and hosts a relatively new dual language immersion program that is only available to kids in that school. I haven't heard much from parents at the school about how it's going but maybe someone will weigh in.

Both Highland View and Rolling Terrace receive additional funding to keep class sizes low, if that matters to you. Rolling Terrace is Title I, and Highland View is a Focus School. [/quote]

Forest Knolls is also a Focus school with lower class sizes.[/quote]
