[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]MCPS shines in high school imo. The magnet programs , career programs, SAT prep, college counseling, ESL . They really want people to go off to great colleges .

It’s ok in middle school. Meh in elementary. At that age, it’s really the parents job to teach the kids honestly. Teachers aren’t paid much in ES and classroom sizes are too large for them to really focus on one kids development at a time.

I think because private schools are smaller class sizes they’re better for K-8 . [/quote]

Or MCPS elementary classes have never been over 20, younger grades were more like 15. Maybe private is smaller, but it's always been manageable.[/quote]

I'm describing our actual experience. Our daughter's K class was 17, first grade was 13, second grade was 18 (average of 16, I guess, not 15). Other grades are larger (at or around 20), but the largest grade level at her ES right now is 62 kids with 3 teachers.[/quote]

Wow where? Our K and 1st have been 25 or more kids. K-2 have 100+ kids per grade level and only 4 teachers per gtade level. Under 20 kids would be amazing. [/quote]
