[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP here, I think it's worth asking what is the quality of the core classes at Loiederman vs North Bethesda AND are the special arts electives worth it? It seems like Loiederman offers the same core classes as North Bethesda?
Also, what is the HW load in middle school at either school?

This is well put.  In our individual experience, math and global humanities have been great at Loiederman.  I think the English _curriculum_ is not worth much, but I don't blame the teachers for that.[/quote]

NP. The English curriculum is going to be terrible at all schools except for Eastern magnet. It's true county-wide.

OP, you could send your child to Loiderman, see how they do there, and always return to your home school if needed. But personally, I would not do that unless you are confident Loiderman is better. The commute to a new school, and having to make new friends as opposed to working off the ones you've built in ES, would give me real pause if the neighborhood school is solid.

What does your child want to do? [/quote]

OP here--child is definitely interested in Loiederman--they are not wanting to be a professional in the arts, but love that this will be front and center of their middle school experience-- and likes that the same core classes are available like at home school. ES friends not all going to home school anyway so that's a non-factor. May give it a try! Thanks! [/quote]

You are better off doing arts outside mcps.  So many great options.  [/quote]
