[quote=Anonymous]Another Chicago transplant. Bethesda reminds me of Evanston but the schools are not comparable. There are some rougher areas of Evanston that just don't exist in Bethesda. Also, I remember reading that the high school eliminated honors classes (or something similar that wasn't received well). The suburbs just north of Evanston (Wilmette, Winnetka, Glencoe, Northfield) all attend New Trier High School which is comparable to the W schools here (I'm an alum). Those suburbs have their own individual school districts for elementary and middle school so there is more local control. Other northern suburbs to look at are Northbrook, Deerfied, Highland Park and Glenview. They all have Metra stations (commuter train line) that go to the city. Both Evanston and Wilmette have Metra and the "el". I'm not as familiar with the western suburbs but have friends in Oak Park, River Forest, Hinsdale. Glen Ellyn and Clarendon Hills are also very nice.

The weather is a big negative but snow doesn't shut everything down like it does here. Good luck with your decision.[/quote]
