"Between the teachers, the standards, the love and care and the Chinese Immersion program it's the finest elementary school we've experienced."

"I must disagree. This is one of the best schools in Montgomery County. I subbed in the county so I have seen most of the other elementary schools. Parents in this area think they can 'run the show' and the principal does a fantastic job of running the school without letting the parents step in too often. The kids are very bright here! I'm not sure where you would find much better!"

"Integrated arts reigns -- whether it's good for the students or not. 3rd grade 'opera' takes 100 instructional hours and children have fun, though get nothing academic out of it. Even the kids noticed how little math they were doing, that they never did social studies, etc. The school is also ruled by Chinese Immersion -- fun for the kids in it, doesn't actually work, judging by placement in high school in Chinese 2, 3 or maybe 4 after 8 years of immersion. Physical plant is a dump, very old, 8 portables, 1/3 of the bathroom facilities required by current code. Test scores very mediocre, should be tops given demographics. Instructional funding from county among the lowest, less than 1/2 what the top gets. Principal highly resistant to parental pressure to improve academics, refuses to meet with groups, will only meet with individuals."
