[quote=Anonymous]There have definitely been some changes since the list above was put together. Takoma Park ES and Piney Branch ES are likely losing their Focus status, and with it their dedicated STEM teacher. It also seems that the TPES "magnet" is no longer taking out-of-bounds kids, but no one has explained what that means to the broader parent community. Rolling Terrace has shifted from a mostly-out-of-boundary Spanish immersion to a dual immersion model for in-bounds kids only. East Silver Spring has had a good couple of years for test scores, partially due to changing demographics in the neighborhood. According to one massive DCUM thread, most sub-groups (low income kids, kids of color) do better at ESS than at PBES, and white and Asian kids do the same. Woodlin saw its GS scores drop, but people are still very happy at the school and the critical mass of families sticking with Sligo MS plus strong administrators have made that a good option.
