[quote=Anonymous]Another RHES parent here. We have kids in elementary, middle and HS.

Rosemary Hills does a lovely job of teaching kids the basics and accelerating when appropriate. I've seen K teachers teach reading to kids who are learning English and those who show up to K reading chapter books. My own child basically moved herself up a math group by plopping herself at the table and saying "I know how to do this! I want to try this group!" Kids learn to deal with rules and large groups, which is great at this age. It is a school run for young kids with a great library, art program and space for them to run at recess.

Our opinion is that MCPS is great for most kids until about 4th grade. After that, we felt like classes were too big to give kids the feedback they needed to learn and improve. One of my kids described reading groups in 5th grade as "kids who can read in one group, kids who can't read in the other." He was a really strong reader -- who needed more of an English class than a reading class -- and he was bored out of his skull

All of my kids transitioned to private sometime in middle school. It has worked out well for our family.

My suggestion to people is to try RHES and see if it works for your child and family. [/quote]
