[quote=Anonymous]My husband and I would like to move to the DC metro next summer. (Now in Kansas City.) I wouldn't want to live in Virginia. We know we can't afford Chevy Chase, Bethesda, or even South Kensington. I'll be laughed off this site, but we wouldn't want to pay more than around $350,000 for a house. Do we have a chance in Silver Spring? That's the only place I can think of that we could possibly afford. Are there any good middle schools and high schools there? I'm glad not to send my daughter to ultra-snobby Winston Churchill or Walt Whitman, but is there a happy medium? A good, not too stressful school, with a happy mix of African Americans, Asians, whites, & hispanics and with dedicated parental involvement? The I-B programs sound too stressful for my kid; figure she could take at most 1 or 2 AP classes a year. She tends to be very anxious and shy, so I don't want her stressed out.

SIDE NOTE: Alternatively, we were wondering if Arnold, Md., in Anne Arundel County and on the Chesapeake Bay, could be a good place to live. The houses are affordable and Broadneck H.S. gets good reviews online.[/quote]
