[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Bumping this thread to see if anyone has tidbits of knowledge.

Answering the question PP had above me, we’re considering moving to Damascus or Sherwood districts as we want a more relaxed small town feel without the hyper competitiveness of the W schools, but with some academic rigor. For what it’s worth we’re also considering Quince Orchard but that’s less likely since the elementary districts that we’d prefer there are a little pricier. [/quote]
I live in East Montgomery Village (which I like a lot) and have spent many years driving around Damascus-Clarksburg-Germantown-Gaithersburg-Olney for various kid activities. I would move to Olney over Damascus. It has a tighter community feel. Olney has several neighborhoods with big swim teams (Tanterra, Olney Mills, Hallowell). I see groups of teens eating out all the time around Olney town center. I like think Rosa Parks MS (friends kid went there) is nicer than Wood MS (not impressed - my kid was bussed there for math in 5th grade).The Clarksburg build out is ridiculous IMO and they will still be shifting articulation patterns between ES, MS, and HS as they try to deal with the huge demographic bump of kids for the next 20 years. Schools are more stable in the Olney area.

Team Sherwood.
