[quote=Anonymous]OP here. Thanks so much for taking the time to respond! I work in the assessment and accountability office for a public school district here in Texas, so I did look over the schools at a glance and other information like the course guides and graduation plans (impressive!). Just from my perspective, having worked at poor and middle class schools, and now as a data analyst for a very mixed, albeit small, district, it's generally easier for affluent schools to post great scores, so we're looking for big gaps--if a school is very affluent, but not doing significantly better than a school with a much higher FARM population, I have to wonder about the true overall quality of the more affluent school. I really do appreciate all the different perspectives, and we went over them last night on the phone.

My husband is going to look at a house located at 5550 Burnside Drive, and one on Parkvale right around the corner, both condos. We currently live in a very old house on an acre of land and we need a break from maintenence. Old houses eat their young! Also, it's my understanding that there is a great deal of choice when it comes to high schools, and that our son is not obligated to go to Rockville HS if he can get into a magnet program, so we are more concerned about safety and proximity right now (husband is working for HHS near the Twinbrook station).
