| Hi. I am looking to move to VA or MD, not too far from DC. I was wanting advice on what are the best school districts in VA and MD with zip codes and names of schools - lower, middle, and high school please. My real estate broker recommended Bethesda Whitman school district but I was interested in finding out more about VA with people with school age children & other areas of MD. My one child would be going into pre-k. Thanks very much. |

| Went from WHitman to private so that should tell you it is not a holy grail perfect school. It is good and safe and upper middle class. Some high schools districts in MD to consider are Whitman, Churchill, Walter Johnson, BCC and in VA you should look at McLean, Langley, Madison, and Oakton. |

The school districts in Maryland near DC are:
Montgomery County Public Schools Prince George's County Public Schools Howard County Public Schools There is no Whitman school district. Whitman is a high school in Bethesda that is part of Montgomery County Public Schools (MCPS). MCPS has 202 elementary schools, 38 middle schools, and 25 high schools. |
|
Whitman is a cluster within MCPS.
PP is an ass. |
| Close in VA has lots of good public high schools. Washington-Lee and Yorktown in Arlington, George Mason in Falls Church City, McLean and Langley in McLean, Madison in Vienna, Woodson in Fairfax. You must have some other criteria, too? What is your price range? That will focus your search a lot, I'd imagine. |
| oH here we gooooooooooooooo |
| I suggest going to any school cluster not recommended here...because if you go to one of the recs -- they are bound to be crowded since evidently they are the only ones worth attending. |

Let's see, what's missing (assuming you're not a troll trying to cause a shitstorm): Location of your and your husband's jobs (and please, not just "Arlington" or "DC", but a specific area within "Arlington" or "DC", like "Rosslyn" or "Foggy Bottom".) What sort of house you want (single-family, townhouse, condo), how old that house is, and if you want a SFH, how much of a yard you're going to want Your budget Your desire for a neighborhood -- miles of residential, highly walkable to parks/schools/libraries/restaurants, or what? Your tolerance for a commute Some schools -- such as Einstein (MD) and Stuart (VA) -- will have a higher group of low-achievers than say Whitman (MD) and Langley (VA). BUT, a high achiever at Stuart is comparable to a high achiever at Langley. |
