Tbh, it pretty good I guess. I’m a current student in my 2nd year at shady grove. I am in the Global humanities program with advanced English and history, and I’m in advanced math as well. For staff, this school has it well. Majority (60-40) of the teachers I’ve had so far were pretty chill, I even
Posted by a student on 3/25/2024i am a past student at this school and let me say i would absolutely not recommend you send your child here. if you have a choice anyways. the education i received was fine overall but the staff that worked there was not great whatsoever; rudeness all around to students and parents of students. yes

Posted by a parent on 3/17/2023Small school with very dedicated staff. Teachers work tirelessly with students and parents to create the best experience for all. The only downfall is behavior management by administration, but from what I hear that is a trend in the county. There are close to no consequences for poor behavior. Luck
Posted by a parent on 2/9/2022Excellent support for student with ADHD and anxiety. Teachers are engaged and supportive as is the broader staff.

6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy son is now in 1st grade. His teacher, Ms. Bogner, in kindergarten worked very closely with him. She saw potential in him that I didn't even see. She pushed him and at the end of the year, we were all pleasantly surprised with his progress. The staff, also, worked to help me and my son. They work hard everyday to make the school experience a smooth transition for everyone. Thank you Flower Hill Elementary!Parent Review10y ago - Covenant Life School

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThe elementary school is acceptable, (and why I gave 2 stars and not 1) but it used to be excellent. Before COVID, the school had strong leadership under a principal who was a Godly man who set a clear tone and high standards. After he left, the overall quality declined significantly.The upper school (6th grade and above) has been especially disappointing. Since COVID, the school has grown too quickly and does not seem to have managed that growth well. In my experience, this has led to the hiring of teachers and assistants who appear unprepared or severely unqualified, and the academic environment and overall student moral has suffered as a result.Before COVID, this school was a very different place and I would have recommended it without hesitation. Today, based on our experience and in talking to other parents and students, I would not recommend the school. At this point, I would suggest that families seriously consider other options. Even public school should be considered over this school. In its current state, (since 2020) I believe this school may do more harm than good for many students.Parent Review2mo ago - Gaithersburg Presbyterian Preschool & Kindergarten

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageBest church based school in the area, in my opinion. Also, this is not a religious school. Mrs. Silverman is wonderful - my daughter, who never liked going to preschool, absolutely loves her and looks forward to going there every day. The school director Mrs. Smith is very professional. Love this place. E. GurevichParent Review11y ago
