I used to live in downtown Silver Spring. I visited the schools there, before deciding to move to Bethesda. I have friends in SS, who send their kids to school there. Sure, the curriculum is the same. Some teachers are wonderful. With involved parents, a determined child can succeed in any MCPS school!
But come on. [b]The level of achievement, engagement and culture is simply not the same as in wealthier public schools. [/b]If my friends could move, they would.

And before someone starts whining that it's all to get away from Blacks and Hispanics, it's not that. My friends and I are multiethnic and diversity is important to us. Luckily, downtown Bethesda has a ton of international families. My daughter's elementary holds a MultiCultural Night with a parade of flags, where close to 50 nations are represented each year.

What does this mean? Both in general, and in terms of the education a specific child (for example, OP's child) would get?[/quote]
