Grade inflation is rampant here - meaning a student who coasts looks on paper the same as an engaged student who does their best, which is unfair when they’re competing for the same college spots. Seriously, at graduation they ask students with a 3.8 or higher to rise, and 3/4 of the kids stand!
Posted by a parent on 3/11/2024This is a wonderful learning institution. The administration, teachers, and overall sense of community are one of the best in Maryland.
Posted by a community member on 9/24/2023Montgomery County Public Schools needs an overhaul from top to bottom, including the Board of Education. For a county that is a large and well funded as MoCo/MCPS, they have done a TERRIBLE job managing our kids education throughout this entire pandemic. Last March when the world came to a screechin
Posted by a parent on 2/8/2021An excellent school with rigorous curriculum to prepare the students for the next step. As a parent of a Senior student getting ready to enter college this Fall, I am not so worried with the academics aspect.

10/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWith great empathy and compassion, please do not register your child to attend Bethesda Elementary (BE) School. The inept academic structure and the one-size fits all teaching model will cause your child to lag at least two (to three) years behind their level of academic competency. Sadly, your parental concerns as you advocate for your child's academic success, will be construed by BE (administrators/teachers) as intrusive and unwarranted. Collaboration among parents, teachers, and the administration to foster a nurturing and safe learning environment, unfortunately, is foreign to BE's mission and as a result students suffer. It is disappointing and heartfelt to write this review but for BE to thrive corrective actions must be implemented, with its students as the number one priority. Regrettably, I cannot recommend this school. :(Parent Review8mo ago - Wood Acres Elementary School

9/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageSince Dr. Zaks joined as principal in 2022, the school has been amazing for my child, who has special education needs. The teachers are great, as is the entire administration. There is plenty of family involvement and a very active PTA. The school provides a nurturing and supportive environment where students feel valued and encouraged to succeed.Parent Review1mo ago - Wyngate Elementary School
