[quote=Anonymous]I'd do Bethesda, DC's got some great schools but organization isn't the strength, if you're moving on after 9th or 10th, or especially 11th grade, MCPS is going to be much more on the ball about the transition out. Plus if you got to BCC you've got the option of an IB program which may make the transition even easier. In addition, if you want a guaranteed option for a good middle school (e.g. not a charter where you have to apply), then you're probably looking at Deal in Upper Northwest. Deal's a very nice school, and people are very happy there. But frankly the neighborhoods within the bounds for Deal are as suburban feeling as downtown Bethesda. We moved from Tenleytown to downtown Bethesda, and getting downtown is just as easy as it was there, plus I've got more stores, and libraries, and theaters, and things like farmer's markets, in walking distance than I did in DC.
