My sister's children attend Carderock and there aren't anywhere near 500 students.  It is a K-5 school and, I'd guess, around 300 students.  Her children are very happy there and love their close-knit community.  That is just one school but I'm sure there are many other good ones in Bethesda and nearby.[/quote]

I have a friend with kids at Carderock. Even though there is a smaller overall community, the class sizes are much larger due to the way that the student per class guidelines get cut off. My child who is in a Bethesda public elem school has never had more than 23 in his class. She couldn't believe that--I won't quote a number as I don't remember what she said but I believe it was closer to 28 kids in a class. (I'm sure someone here will correct me if I'm wrong!) Five + kids more in a classroom does make a difference...

Can't speak to your friend's experience, by my niece's are in different grades and one has 23 kids in class, the other has 21.  (But, I believe the 1st grade may have larger classes.)  Maybe it varies from year to year, I'm not sure.[/quote]
