At B-CC, I could always find someone to connect with. There were so many people with different interests! School pride and enthusiasm was pretty low, though, most likely because the new principal got rid of several dances just to build an addition that resulted in the loss of our football field. A big plus of this school was open lunch and the ability to leave campus to buy food. But it also highlighted the huge discrepancies between economic status among students; the poorer, usually minority students stayed in the cafeteria to buy school lunch while the rich white kids left to get Starbucks.
In terms of academics, AP and IB classes were highly recommended. These classes were definitely doable, but with many teachers being paid part-time or stuffed with students, individual one-on-one meetings were a rarity.
Overall though, the social aspect of the school was probably its best feature. I loved spending my adolescent years here, even with its drawbacks.

Bethesda-Chevy Chase High school is one of the highest ranking public high schools in Maryland’s Montgomery County. I enjoyed the variety of course options available, including courses in photography, art, music, various sports, and many AP course available which transferred over to my university!
The students of Bethesda Chevy Chase are very fortunate to have the teachers that are currently working there. Over half of the teachers are approachable, warming, and hospitable. Without a doubt you will be able to attend a class and enjoy it because each teacher brings their own flair and humor to the course. My comparative religion class was taught by world's funniest but yet sarcastic person ever! Expect with this with all classes, even math. Before Math was boring and something I did not want to take first thing in the morning. However, when placed with Mrs. McWhorter, we had more conversations about our personal experiences that just so happened to relate to math, in an odd way. The teachers are what makes a school, a good school.
