My family has been apart of the school for almost 2 years. We have very much enjoyed being apart of the school community. The teachers thus far have been outstanding. We have experienced content intervention for our student when needed, and a great balance of celebrating their achievements. Both the

Posted by a parent on 2/28/2023Really disappointed to see Candlewoods rating go down from 9 to 6 due to changes in scoring method. I've had one of my children already graduate with another in their 4th year and one behind them. Candlewood has been the best elementary school experience my wife and I ever had including our own and

5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThe teachers are amazing here. My child is excited to go to school in the morning. The school is very supportive when it comes to learning disabilities. I can reach out to them and they are very responsive and will talk to about concerns I have. This school is great!Parent Review1y ago - Sequoyah Elementary 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
