[quote=Anonymous]In my experience, if you like the neighborhood, you’ll like the school. The demographics, the feel, and the emphasis on community are all important. Join neighborhood Facebook groups and see what sort of concerns are shared, how neighbors interact and respond to questions, appeals for help, attempts to organize events, etc. Also, how would parents’ commute be affected if you choose a specific neighborhood? Maximizing time at home with family will help ensure you can actually take advantage of everything a school and community have to offer. This approach is probably not quite as applicable at the high school level because those draw from a wider number of neighborhoods, but for elementary school, I think it’s a good way to evaluate. Well-supported, well-resourced kids can do well in most MCPS schools, but you want to be sure you’re comfortable and happy in the neighborhood and in the school community. [/quote]
