Renting for a year: Woodacres or Westbrook for a 1st grader? Insights/details appreciated. Thanks

We are trying to decide between them - appreciate your thoughts. Thanks!

You can't go wrong with either. Westbrook will allow you to walk to more places.

I hear both schools are overcrowded.

Yes, both are busting at the seams. Westbrook is slated for major addition/renovations soon, if that helps your decision. While that may seem like a negative, it may be a positive as Wood Acres has more kids every year and no plan for expansion.

All Bethesda (most?) schools overcrowded. Take your pick.

There's talk of moving some of the Wood Acres kids to Bannockburn in a few years.

Though none of this helps OP because her kid would be at either school before these events occur.

OP, I'd decide on the neighborhood because both schools are very good.
