[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Chevy Chase/parts of Silver Spring and Kensington feed into RHPS fir grades K to 2. The school is HUGE, hundreds of kids per grade with a cold Principal. The lunch room is LOUD and crazy like a zoo with adults screaming to be heard on megaphones. I heard the Principal might be retiring. 
There is an autism program but nothing for other disabilities.

RHPS then split into two (depending on where you live) NCC or CCES.  CCES has a huge gifted and talented program that feeds in from all over the county.  That is the program the Principal cares about because it wins her awards and she is nuts with a massive ago. If you have a special needs kid, they will get ignored.  They will not get the services they need.

Add to the fact that the CCES gifted and talented program expanded and almost swallowed the entire school two years ago.  So what you have at CCES are kids who don’t live close by and parents who are not involved in the school because of distance and it is temporary so they don’t volunteer. It does not feel like a community school.

Add to that, As a previous poster mentioned, 90% of the Chevy Chase neighborhood sends their kids to private.  The neighborhood has a disconnect because kids don’t know each other.

That is the scoop on RHPS/CCES.  As far as MCPS in general goes, if your student has dyslexia/dysgraphia/AHHD, run! The system does not recognize the disorders.  They killed phonics years ago which is essential for Dyslexic kids. Your kid will need to be in a private school to get what they need.  I learned the hard way.  Sorry this post is so long. Good luck to you![/quote]

The special needs people at CCES are disgusting. Truly bad people. Unethical and should lose their jobs but - see above.[/quote]
