[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are looking to move from NE dc, in part to get a bit more space, but largely to get a more established school and feeder for my elementary age kids. We haven’t found a part of Bethesda that really gets us going, but we like parts of upper NW and Takoma park MD, but I’m finding it hard to really dig in to compare the schools meaningfully. Does anyone have a sense of how the schools match if we are zoned for [b]Murch[/b] (or nearby)/Deal/Jackson Reed vs Takoma Park Elementary, Piney Branch, TPMS, and Blair. FWIW, my kids smart and slightly above grade average, but odds are they are just average smart kids, not like, geniuses. One kid is a bit sensitive/anxious so I’m hoping to avoid a pressure cooker situation. We value places where there will be diversity, and the opportunity to challenge themselves academically, with a cohort of smart kids who care about schools and families who will make sure the school and administrators don’t drop the ball when issues arise.

So, what do you think, which would you choose???[/quote]
Murch then worry about the rest later

Presumably they don’t want to move twice so would rather worry about it and work it out now.[/quote]

Yep! OP here and yes, we are hoping to move once.

To the PP airing concerns about the math curriculum in MCPS, I’d love to hear if others had this impression. My eldest is in 1st grade and they are adding and subtracting under 100, and doing basic (like basic) multiplication and division concepts, and I’d be surprised if my EOTP title 1 school had more advanced math curriculum, but maybe…?[/quote]

My EOTP 7 year old does similar things but are in the enriched curriculum at TPES. Their MAM-P last fall was in the 220s. Their older sibling at TPMS was just shy of 290 in 6th All indications are they're doing well. [/quote]
