Is there an additional teacher in the mega class and support person? That is really terrible. Scary. I understand why people pay for private school.

They're out of rooms as of this year.
This year they combined 2 second grades into 1 mega sized third grade (45 students) to deal with the lack of a room (there are also 2 normal-sized 3 grades).
Next year they'll go to trailers as there is will be an additional first grade that needs a room. The following year there will be an additional first grade and second grade that need rooms. And on and on.
Plus they'll keep the mega-sized third grade.

There's talk of building again but DCPS won't allocate the funds so soon.



How do they deal with 1 mega class and 2 normal?! If I was a parent of a child in a mega-class, I would be livid. Crazy!

That is crazy. Lafayette and Murch, don't make the same mistakes! Plan and do research before renovating!

" What Chevy Chase really needs is some charter school options. "

Clearly, you don't know much about charter schools.

The school is dealing with the issue. They are renovating so that the school can serve the large population that wants will attend.

My suggestion is to travel to other parts of the city like the rest of us.

This can't be serious? The schools are otherwise fine in CCDC just way way overcrowded. Last thing we need is to take tax money away from local schools to support charters.
