If you have first hand experience with a school and it was negative, great, post about that. But if you're just passing on rumor and insults, what's the point??


Completely agree. It's as if your kid's public school is a status symbol or something. Probably the same people who are concernes with the "prestige" of their address.


It doesn't always correlate. Many folks for example would consider Cleveland Park or Georgetown to be desirable neighborhoods ("prestige" addresses if you like). But the quality of the neighborhood schools, Hyde or even John Eaton, do not match the perceived quality of the neighborhoods where they are located. No one is discussing their inclusion in the JKLM group.


You are right! Everybody knows that educational quality correlates most highly with consecutive alphabetical order.

Murch parent here. We have had excellent experience with the school, despite the size. My child has had phenomenal teachers, other kids are great, and she is getting a very good education. It is true that the building sucks and that the school is rather big, but for us these things are not a big deal.

I laugh because this person is like a broken record. Life wouldn't be the same if they didn't come around.

Why is Hearst even being discussed here? It's not in the JKLM group by a long shot.

What in the world would give you that "sense"?

Students from "Ward 9" are certainly represented at Hearst.


Hey, it's 2015. How about your New Year's resolution is to drop this routine? It's super old and boring.

We recently went through a house hunt and after visiting all the area schools we only looked IB for Hearst and Eaton. Luckily for us we found a place for Hearst.


Hearst is awful.


Then feel free to go somewhere else. We are an IB family and love it.


+1. Love it. Great education, facilities being modernized. Awesome families who are involved. We are very happy.


How involved do the PG County families get?
