I heard the part of the area where I grew up is not that great anymore. I went to Watkins Mills cluster schools.

I teach in Burtonsville so way down county.

What about Burtonsville?

I don't really like the apartment choices. Also not a fan of living in the same neighborhood as my students. Before I left teaching in PGCPS I lived in the same neighborhood as my students and I was constantly bombarded by parents & students asking me questions about school. I like to leave work at work.

What about West Laurel (20707) zoned for Bond Mill?

Good god, the snark.

Are you aware that for the vast majority of human history people of different tribes were prone to consuming each other?

It may not meet your smug utopian ideal, but a school with multiple biracial children is indeed progress, albeit of an incremental sort.

In short, get some perspective (and don't be such an ass).

As in, eating each other? I was not aware that for the vast majority of human history people of different tribes were prone to practicing cannibalism on each other.

I didn't think of that. I sometimes forget Bond Mill is in Laurel.

Move to Bethesda to make it more diverse.

OP, what is your rental budget and what are your requirements (sf, br, ba, etc?) I live in Laurel and know the general Laurel, West Laurel and Burtonsville area.

Rockville schools are strong, particularly the ones that feed into RM and Wootton. I don't know much about the other clusters in Rockville. I did hear that Rockville HS is one of the few that's not overcrowded, which may be appealing.

Consider Olney too, OP. I hear good things.

I'm looking for a 2 bedroom 2 bathroom apartment. Currently living in a 2 bedroom 1 bathroom condo. Really wanting a 2nd bathroom to have my own space lol. My budget is no more than $1900-2000 a month. Newer kitchen. I looked at the new apartments in Laurel off of Konterra but I wasn't to sure about the schools. Vansville I believe and Bond Mill.

I think you'll find stuff feeding into College Gardens and Beall ES. Both great schools.

I actually think that rent will get you into a Bethesda/Potomac pyramid too, if the location works for you.

What about the Cloverly/Farquhar/NEC feeder pattern?

+1. College gardens is a great neighborhood school.

Too bad, I'm also a single mother with a kindergarten daughter renting an apartment in Burtonsville. I would love to make a single mom friend in Burtonsville.
