Olney or Brookeville. Can take back roads to Rockville.

Rock creek valley, Barnsley, or flower valley districts are all nice.

You may consider Beverly Farms elementary. It feeds to Hoover and then Churchill high. Houses in the neighborhood goes for about 500-650k. It is off Montrose road so easy commute for you and husband.

You can find houses in the 500-600 range in parts of Chevy Chase in the BCC Cluster

Depending on budget, definitely Kensington. Different sections of Kensington feed into different school districts so just be aware but the prices are adjusted for the different school districts. Two sections go to Bethesda school clusters an one goes to a silver spring school district.

We can't afford Bethesda or Potomac, so we're looking for recommendations on areas that have good schools, but are a bit more affordable than Bethesda or Potomac (which would be ideal, but not realistic). Thanks for any advice you can give.

On a side note, I've also heard that it may be possible to enroll kids in any county schools, not just the ones you are assigned to based on your address. That sounds too good to be true, but I'd be interested to hear the reality of that - if there is any!

Montgomery County - Good School locations?
None. Save your money and try a different county. One that isn't going down the tubes.

I'd stick to Rockville, Kensington, North Bethesda.

Agree, a commute from the Kentlands, or the QO area (as other posters have suggested) will be killer down to NW DC unless she leaves at 6 a.m.

Rockville in the Fallsmead or Lakewood area is nice, and close to 270.

I live in Montgomery Village and get down to DC, NW, in about an hour+ leaving at 7am. However I do use the HOV lanes as I have to drop off the kids at school in DC.

I wouldn't go to Olney or Gaithersburg areas (although I love those locations) I would stay as close to 270/495 area if possible. Nothing further up than exit 6 on 270. Past there is where the traffic will be torture for you.

Agree. School administration has not kept up with changes and not addressed issues like overcrowding.
