[quote=Anonymous]DH and I are looking to move out if DC to a place with good public schools and a reasonable commute. For that and a handful of other factors, we identified the east Chevy Chase neighborhoods (Rollingwood, Dunlop Hills, etc) as a good place for us. But doing some research, we're learning about the new middle school proposal, and are feeling like it's a major detraction from what we're looking for. Primarily because it seems like it would likely be zoned for those kids that attend Rosemary Hills (so most of the eastern and northern parts of CC) as well as parts of Silver Spring and Krnsington. Looking at the school info for the areas of Kensington and SS that would got to the new middle school, the school performances are not nearly as strong as other parts if CC, plus there are pretty significant numbers of ESOL and FARMS kids coming from those areas. It seems like it would sort of negate the supposed benefit of living in CC, versus Kensington or SS.

That being said, I'm hoping I'm missing something, because it seems like a lot of RH parents are in support, and I can't imagine people in those areas wouldn't raise a racket if they were unhappy with the proposal and zoning.

Can anyone comment on that? DH and I really love everything else about the area, and have seen very little that we like in our price range in the Somerset area or Bethesda. But schools are our primary motivation for moving, and it just doesn't seem like it would make sense to do so for lackluster schools. [/quote]
