SIXTH GRADES IN LIMBO IN BETHESDA, CHEVY CHASE
The Gazette: "Depending on where sixth-graders in Bethesda and Chevy Chase go to school, they may be learning a foreign language, doing science experiments in laboratories and, some parents think, taking in the full middle school experience.

Chevy Chase and North Chevy Chase elementary schools are the only in the county school system that include sixth grade. But those sixth grades are not the same as those in the halls at the cluster's Westland Middle School, some parents say. At North Chevy Chase, for example, there are no science labs or language classes."
