If you are okay with ongoing bullying that remains unaddressed, gaslighting by admin, kids hitting teachers (and the kids clearly have needs that the school is not addressing), then go for it!

What are you talking about? Mater Amoris is a sweet, nurturing school.

Um, are you aware of the bullying that goes on there? Teachers having to pick up kids with their arms and then the kid hitting the teacher? Horrible language used while teachers look the other way? I know at least at the end of one academic year, 6 parents pulled their kids out. That says a lot.

I am sure you are replying because you may work at the school or may have been in a class where this was not going on.

It's sad that the measure of quality for a K-8 is the ranking of the college attended 4 years later, not the experience the kids actually have in the classroom.

Well this is DCUM, this is how most parents think.

People want to know about quality/outcomes. In addition to being a good school-- the teachers/staff will treat your kids as well as their own.

Are the sending kids straight to college?

Thanks. Do you feel that they are picking up any Spanish?

Thanks! Where did your child go after 8th grade? Another private or MCPS?

Private in MD. The head of the school is wonderful. My dd stays in touch with the teachers. A gem of a school for many different types of kids.
