Chevy Chase Elementary School

Great academics, strong teaching staff, small class sizes, lots of extracurriculars, a beautiful renovated building and playground, and an active and engaged parent community!

so i was a student at lafayette a year ago so yes its a good school i learned alot and this is a prety desent school espeshaly in math because curently a 6th grader and i got into 7th grade math and if you want to sign your kid up for a after school program do ccpc not cls because i hated it so much because honesly the people they hire are just like teenagers but usualy only for the older kids only but they get the older nicer people for the yonger kids and if you have to you can sign them up but if theres an opening for ccpc you should put them in there. but apart from that yes its a good school they have good staff nice teachers and yes they have a good writing syestem i just have always been bad at spelling and anything to do with ela. but the thing that was the worst about math was i ready its super anoying and it takes a super long time to do 1 lesson. but over all i think this is a good school and your kid will like this school.

With 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. :(

While the education is good, they are entirely too harsh and unfair in how they punish young children. The downside of a private school is they ultimately care more about money than the health of the children.

We absolutely love Oneness! We have been Oneness parents for 7 years now. Our son attended Oneness from 3rd grade to 8th grade, and our daughter joined since kindergarten (currently at 6th grade). For our kids, it has been a transformational experience. They grew academically as well as socially, developing cognitive and non-cognitive skills simultaneously. They learned math, sciences, foreign languages but also how to organize their days, how to advocate for themselves, how to speak in public and no less importantly, how to be courageous and conscientious citizens of the world. The teachers and whole staff are welcoming, friendly but also knowledgeable. Coming from a different country and culture, Oneness has been more than a good school, it is really a second home.

Boooooooooooo. Sucks. Bad. Join SIDWELL FRIENDS SCHOOL. My child was harassed.
