Tilden MS in MCPS?

[Anonymous]

I used to teach at Luxmanor. There are pockets of wealth but also poverty. Luxmanor feeds to Tilden. There was actually a fair amount of SES diversity, more than I expected there. Kids live in apartments of rockville pike, too. Also, you won't be the only military family but I agree the kids will think that's cool. Where is Mr. Garran now?

At a private school in Virginia Beach.

Right! One of the most well known military bases (Walter Reed National Military Medical Center) is in Bethesda! Plus there is Forest Glen Annex in Silver Spring. There are tons of military families in this area...

IMO, one negative about Tilden is that it's on a busy road. How is the traffic there?

Not great. But Tilden is moving to a new building on a neighborhood street next year so it will be much safer for walkers and bike riders.

Agreed. Plenty of military families in the entire area.
