[quote=Anonymous]Lots of things to consider. I know families zoned for both schools and many are happy, some have used the DCC choice process to get their kids into Blair and some have opted for private schools 
I suggest you spend a little time driving around the neighborhoods feeding into each high school to find areas you would enjoy living in. There are for instance parts of Kensington (Homewood) where you can easily walk into old town Kensington which has a library, bakery, gym, gardening store and a few cafes and restaurants. 
I also suggest you spend ten minutes poring through this report on MCPS SAT scores broken down by school which also provides very detailed SAT participation rates and SAT scores by race and socioeconomic status. The average score for a school might be low but you can see how kids in different demographics perform. It is a long report but worth going through in its entirety especially since you are only considering two high schools

Another data point is the schools at a glance report which is a brief report which gives a nice overview but is not as useful as the above report on SAT scores
