[quote=Anonymous]It's actually not that bad.

All of Takoma Park feeds to Montgomery Blair HS as the home school. Most of Takoma Park feeds to Takoma Park Middle School, although a relatively small slice feeds to Silver Spring International Middle (SSIMS). You can check the school assignment on the real estate website.

Blair is part of the Down County Consortium (DCC), which is 5 high schools. If you have a rising 9th grader, you fill out a form ranking your HS choice. If you rank your "home" HS as #1, you automatically get it.

Getting into Silver Spring, if you just focus on the close-in parts, you are looking at a handful of MS and HS options.

A small slice of SS feeds to TPMS and then Blair.

All of Eastern MS feeds to Blair as well.

A lot of the Downtown SS area feeds to SSIMS and then Northwood HS. As a PP noted, Northwood is under construction but will be brand new and expanded by the time your current 5th grader gets to HS.

Moving out a little bit toward Forest Glen Metro, most of that feeds to Sligo Middle School and Albert Einstein HS.

The high school magnet stuff is another beast, but you have years to figure it out. So the immediate question is "What do you want your in-bounds MS and HS options to be?" This is important because you can't count on magnets or DCC choice breaking in your favor, and coming from DC you want to know you have a clear and stable path.
