If your child needs help and support dont let the blue ribbon award fool you. Special education here is often given by a para pro (not even a certified teacher.). Admin will spend more time hiding your childs weakness so they dont have to be held accountable or give any intervention. They began to read my childs tests outloud to him so he would get As and Bs and then used his inflated grades to deny him help (despite him being 2 years behind in reading). Of course they didnt communicate to me that he was getting assistance on his tests. It was disgusting. Principal sits in her office all day and only responds to parents if you reach out to a board or council member. I was extremely disappointed with the entire admin, counselors and special education team. I know others in special ed who have had a similar experience. They put all the kids in GT classes to try and accelerate the scores but wont help the ones behind.

Most students and some teachers are very mean and racism. Principal and assistant principal, they might seem like nice sometimes but they are truly not. One of the front office ladies is really rude. So just no.

This is the best school hands down. 2 of my children attended and I wouldn't send them anywhere else. We live where we do, just for this school. The principal is on top of everything, and my kids had a great experience here. This school is different, it reminds me of the school I went to when I was young. There is an "old school" feel to this. They organize wonderful events and Mrs. Hundley is always on top of everything. My son loves the after school clubs, especially, creative steamers. He has had a wonderful 6 years in this school. Sad he will be finishing 5th grade and leaving this year. :(

Most teachers give homework that is meaningful, and in reasonable amounts.

A lot of new hires as the school enrollment has increased.

Lot of great clubs and after school activities, but have you hear of Battle of the Books or Black Saga? Well you probably wont unless your child has been specifically asked to be part of those clubs. Why arent they open to all kids? Because those clubs compete at the state, and national level. Unfortunately, the teachers that are in charge of Battle of the Books and Black Sage, care about the winning, so participants are carefully selected. However, 24 club also competes nationally, but those teachers are perhaps more interested in giving kids the experience of competing and are not focused on winning.

My son attends Chapel Hill Elementary and we are very happy with the school. The teachers take active interest in pupil's development and work with parents to ensure all the developmental needs of the children are met.

I must respond to some of the most recent "reviews" posted here. I am a parent with 2 children in Chapel Hill Elementary and both of my children, my wife, and I are having a great experience. We have only had excellent, experienced teachers and have NEVER had an email go unanswered by a teacher. The PTA is very involved and a great resource for the school and students. The only slight negative is that the school is overcapacity. However there are new schools being planned and the district lines have been changed recently, but these changes take some time to shrink enrollment. It is difficult to cut current enrollment by re-redistricting as virtually NO ONE wants their kids moved away from this excellent school. While the overcapacity is less than ideal, the school leaders have handled it well with plenty of staff and some temporary additional classrooms added. It only seems to make the normal business of lunchtime and after-school functions a little more difficult. Finally, I have to wonder who the random people who rate it low and leave no comment are? Very suspect and without much use for anyone other than then person who may have a grudge who posted it.

When my children entered this school three years ago, it was an excellent experience. Today, my experience is much different. The teachers are marginal and they infrequently respond to emails. In addition, I find the new teachers take a lackluster approach to teaching and ensuring grades are recorded. This is unfortunate because the school was very nice, I fear it will continue to decline, especially with the increased enrollment and hiring of young inexperienced teachers.

Previous comments on the emphasis on MSAs should take into account that this is a reflection of our national education policy rather than CHE alone. Every public school in every state requires standardized testing and the schools feel the pressure to produce results. I also believe that overcrowding was not a problem until thousands of McMansions were built in this area over the last decade. However, I do admit that a lower student/teacher ratio would be nice. Regarding individualized attention: Your child is not going to have it in college or the workplace-- now might be a good time to socialize them into this reality. The only people who truly thinks that our daughter is special is me, my husband, and her grandparents. The same holds true for the child of anyone reading this. My daughter has performed well in K-1. Both teachers had very different teaching styles, yet both were effective. I also volunteer for my daughter's class when time permits. I'm very satisfied, however, the school needs air conditioning.

This school is average at best. The faculty is only concerned with MSA test scores and nothing else. A school rating system that has many flaws. The state of Maryland agree to lower the standard to score higher test scores. An overhaul of the current system is desperately needed to save this school and others like this one. All of the best qualified teachers moved on or retired in the last few years. We do what we can to help our kids go beyond what is being taught at this school. I hope to move out to a better school district. Perhaps to Howard County if I could afford to live there.

This school and administration rides on the laurels of MSA test scores. I agree that not enough attention is paid to the individual students; as long as those MSA scores stay high, that seems to be all that matters. But if the school teaches to the test ("prepare the children") and the children already come from affluent homes where parents spend time working with their children and providing supplemental education services, then it's really more the parents preparing their children than the school. The parental involvement and PTA is great, but can only work in the constraints of what the administration will allow them to do.

Any tips of "the best" teachers...especially for Kindergarten and First Grade? My daughter is starting at Chapel Hill in the Fall. Thanks!

Excellent School! Could not ask for anything better! I have one child currently attending and plan to have 2 more in the future!

This school is pretty nice, although, the teachers (when it doesn't have anything to do with academics) will just go with the flow and not pay any attention to the kids behavior. But everything else is very good.
