[quote=Anonymous]It was 10 years ago, but I visited a number of NWDC and close-in Montgomery county public elementary schools during the school day, along with talking with families there, before choosing where to buy a house. The MCPS schools had too many kids in the classroom and the teachers seemed lower quality (including heavier reliance on student teachers). The DCPS school we ended up choosing had real teachers as assistants/partner teachers, a more thoughtful daily schedule (multiple recesses), better resources, and more dynamic teaching. We were happy with our choice. I would go ahead and visit before the school year ends and make your own decision about it (if you are nice about it, they will often let you visit outside of formal open houses). [/quote]
