[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have one MS kid and another ES kid. I live in upper MoCo. My MSer goes to a magnet program and my ES is academically very advanced, however was not accepted into the ES magnet program. Based on several years of experience in school system if I had chance to do over, I will move to NoVA.

It seems like your child would be academically advanced (your profile makes me believe that) and magnet school is no gurantee. MoCo is in the decline path for advanced learners in general public school. If the path is not reversed, in 10 years things would be pretty bad.

So, if you can manage distance to your work, my suggestion would be to look for houses in VA.[/quote]

Thanks for your post: You bring up a good point, the reason I want to stay in MD is that I have family in NY, NJ and it's a bit closer. BUT, I feel like the homes in VA are nicer, bigger and you get a lot more home for your money. Are you suggesting No VA because of the school system?I'm not too familiar with their school system but if I find a school system that is really good, I would definitely consider it. Which school system would you recommend in VA?[/quote]
