GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Several staff members were disgruntled about the dismissal of Daniel Picca, who as it turns out never should have been assigned to the school. (Washington Post wrote an editorial about how MCPS handled Picca.) The disgruntled staff members in their campaign to get the principal fired created a poisonous environment for their colleagues and their students. Those staff members no longer are at Kemp Mill, but I wish I had pulled my child out so that we didn't have to deal with the drama during the 2010-11 and 2011-12 school years.

Our experiences in the past with different administrators were overall more positive than our experience under the current principal. I think the language program has merit, but be aware that MCPS has done away with English only options at the lower level. You should be prepared to move your child i...
