Top Elementary schools in Silver Spring, United States

I went to this school starting in first grade and nowhere I’m in 5th grade I had the best experience in this school it has changed my whole life

Staff here are Awesome!

These other fifth graders need some help like seriously

This school was decent but some of the students really need to work on there attitude,im not gonna miss this school so much really,and the 4th graders there just...lets just say they need help.

Best school ever

Diverse school

I'm being honest there are way too many fights here. The teachers are nice. The math classes are amazing. Sometimes I cant concentrate on my work because my classmates goof off. Over all most people are nice. Also I love the principle of the school and the secretary (my favorite) are good.

I hate this school

My little cousins used to go there and they didn’t want to leave but they moved and they said how much of in experience they had there and how the teachers are amazing roll models

The school is ok, the teacher is good. The front desk guy, don’t know his name but is bald and has a heavy accent is so rude. He thinks he is the boss man of the school. So much attitude and talks to adults like we are kids.

Don’t get why they have ‘Christian’ attached to their school. - They came over to play for the Middle school basketball championship this year, and their team and fans made rude comments and used vulgar language the whole time.

We had higher expectations for a Christian school.

This was my elementary school, best school I've ever went to. I mean, I graduated in 2017. My experience here was AWESOME. The teachers are great, the principal and guidance counselor are really nice, so really, I have no complaints, none at all.

We have been sending our children to Forcey Christian School for the better part of 8 years. The teachers and staff are wonderful. Our kids have received a wonderful education here. I believe they are ahead of children their same ages in other public/private schools. But the more crucial details are that said education is coming from a solid Christian worldview and is presented by a staff that exude a faithful Christ-like love for their students. I can honestly say we have yet to have a bad experience or teacher over the past 8 years. We will be forever grateful for their blessing to the community and the opportunity to attend Forcey. Go Falcons!

Best elementary school I’ve been to by far, really good engaging teachers and a great principal.

so far so good for kindergarten class kid

Admin is very supportive and makes extra effort to ensure quality education

Wonderful school. The staff and principal are amazing. He and some staff knows everyone by first name.

It was so much fun. I’m in middle school now and I really miss this place

Amen

Great school, I attended years ago. (2nd grade, Ms.Saferi class)

ok school

School was good sometimes. Just the other students you should watch out for.

It is good school

Great school! Both of my older sons attend Glenallan ES. One is in 5th grade and the other is in 1st grade. This is an amazing school with an amazing staff and principal. Mr. Moran, the principal, is smart, engaging and genuinely cares about the students and staff. He knows all of the students' names-- all 670 of them.

It is a great place. The teachers are nice and so are the students. I should know because I am a student that goes there. I am in the eighth grade and I am loving Forcey. I don't even want to leave the school. All of you people who don't like Forcey and gave it a one star rating, I don't know what is wrong with you. Forcey is the best. If I have any kids, I might send them to that school.

Well I had the best 3 years in my life in this School! In 3rd grade, It was awesome well in the first time of the year I had cut my hair and NOBODY knew me! But it was the awesome year for me In 4 grade, Well I was acting and after I move to a table where they would talk A LOT!! But it was awesome and the teacher was nice and lots of drama in the 4 year😂 And finally 5 grade,.... I am going to say this but I had the awesome teacher in my whole life! She was nice,caring,and fun! About a month or 2 I was bullied. 1 Girl named Ariana A. So I was getting really depressed and it was in winter break. When we came back, She told every one and they look at me. She said she wouldn't tell but it was a harsh life for me in 5 but the one that was always harsh was when she said to me that I was a drama queen... I put a issue in the issue box and my teacher help me😄. She was awesome and she was always there for me. Anyways it was a good year in 5 grade!

Great energy. Everyone is eager to help the students succeed. Teachers work together and the administration is supportive. Positive environment.

Strathmore is the best school ever. I went there for 3 years I have always gotten good grades. All that you have to do is apply yourself and you will float on air. Mrs.Cooper, Mrs.Zimmerman and Rubio, and Mrs.Henry were my teachers. I almost always passed. If you have not attended there yourself I reccomend that you listen precisely. Did you sit there with your child yourself. And to students, apply yourself. Out of all Strathmore is one of the best elementary schools ever. Now im in middle school and I cant thank them enough for preparing me.

My grandson attended Pre- kindergarten at this school, and his experience was outstanding. First, I love the fruit of the spirit and character of the principal Mr Moran. Second, the same was manifested in his two teachers Mrs Amin and Mrs Lockhart. Thirdly, my grandson went in to pre-k identifying and writing a few of the alphabets, but ended the school year identifying and writing all of the alphabets, read, write and spell sight words, and able to count and write numbers up to 100. His mother had put him in another school for kindergarten because she wanted him to live with her. However the first day she saw the difference in the schools and saw he is better off living with me so he can go to Glenallan ES. I decree that my grandson whole school experience all the way up to the 12th grade will be like it was in pre-k. It started outstanding, will stay outstanding and finish outstanding.

That's cool is so great on Wednesdays

amazing!!

Strathmore is a hell hole, DO NOT GO ! do you want your child to fail cry everyday get bullied and the school doesnt care? thats stratmore they dont love u. They brainwash you, imma tell you straight up strathmore is just terrible, all they do is give u 100%bs!!!!!!! Strathmore is basically gnna b u in tears 24/7

One child has been through middle school at Forcey and one child has been at Forcey for 5 years (currently in middle school now). This school has a very loving atmosphere, but maintains a balanced structure. Forcey goes to the 8th grade and when my older one went to our neighborhood public high school, it was too easy (about 2 years behind even in the advanced courses). My younger son is more academically-advanced and Forcey is a good fit for him. Students who struggle academically may have problems at this school because they only have 1 resource teacher and no related services and the classes tend to teach to the "top" rather than the "middle" or "bottom". Lots of opportunties for students to do extra-curricular activities. A very strong family network and home involvement. Families come from all over the DC/Baltimore Metro area. Student population highly multi-cultural...faculty could use more diversity. However, the faculty embrace diversity and respect and appreciate these differencest. I believe at least one parent has to be a believing (i.e., Born again) Christian. Good to visit and interview and judge for yourself to see if it will be a good fit for your child.
