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.

With the current administration, there is a HIGH teacher turnover, which affects the language program as well as overall academics. In our experience there isn't a pull out GT class. MCPS offers compacted math for grades 4-5 and "differentiated learning" in reading but that is not the same as a true GT program. We were overall very happy with the teachers and the language program, but the administration dampened our enthusiasm about the school.
