Oak Hill Estates

This has been a good space and place to learn. I am impressed with the low staff turn over. Many of the teachers and staff have been there over 5 years.I love the level of communication and transparency the administrion exhibits. The motto of "Kids First"

My daughter moved to this school recently and she loved it. The teachers are very good

School is good but the teachers getting touchy with my children is a big problem, and everyone at that school just shrugs it off like it’s no big deal.

I met only one Teacher she was nice, but overall the school was very disorganized and the school staff lack information. My daughter dislike Burnt Mills ES. There are data where the bus forgets to pick up the students and the school dont even warn the parents. Busses are extra packed. We are so happy we moved out of Silver Spring, MD and found a better school where my daughter actually loves to go to learn.

0 out of 5 stars, after frequent meetings with staff(principal, vice principal, school psychologist, student counselor) a PARA EDUCATOR bullied and traumatized my daughter using fear tactics and power moves (she ripped up a book my 5 year old drew about her and myself for no reason since they refuse to tell me what happened), the investigation took LESS THAN 24 HOURS And the principal had the audacity to tell me that there was no evidence to prove the para educator did anything to my daughter. These are the kinds of people they have around our children. Then she had the audacity to tell me I don’t communicate with her teachers about her progress when it is in fact her teacher who refuses to respond to me! They try to label a kid who is just too smart for her class(as she and I have mentioned that she learned this stuff in pre k last year) as a special needs child. All the principal wants to do is get us to transfer her to another school instead of doing her job and focusing on making my child’s experience here better!

I have three children, and we've chosen Spencerville Adventist Academy for all three. Two of my children attended Montgomery County public schools for a portion of their education, so we have had a chance to contrast and compare. Spencerville Adventist Academy in outstanding on many fronts. My children are treated like individuals - they are cherished and academically challenged. The values they are taught are very good and the multi-cultural staff and student body work together well. It is large enough to have a great music program and sports, but small enough that students interested in being in the annual musical or on a sports team, can be. All in all, I highly recommend Spencerville Adventist Academy.

We love and trust Mater Amoris Montessori School! The huge wooded campus combined with the exceptionally practiced AMI Montessori education cannot be beat. Hiking trails, a creek, child-tended gardens, chickens, rolling hills for sledding, multiple playgrounds, and fresh air from being out in the countryside! Knowledgeable, passionate, hardworking, and kind educators who are experts in their craft in warm and inspiring classroom spaces filled with natural light. You could not find a more nurturing, stimulating, or respectful place for your child to grow. Alumni all over the DMV truly become misty-eyed when recalling their formative years at this school. We are in our fifth year at Mater Amoris, with children at the primary and elementary levels. As a mom of three and an AMI-trained Montessori guide, I am delighted that our family has found our place. We are excited and grateful about many more years to come at Mater Amoris Montessori School and in their wholesome and engaging school community!
