[quote=Anonymous]Sure, if they want to form their own county or district.  If not, everyone in the same county/district paying the same taxes has a right to the same quality of schools.

In this area, the cost of housing is tied to lots of other things, not just schools.  Proximity to transportation, recreation, amenities and other conveniences  all bring the cost of housing up.  In moco, the Bethesda/CC clusters are also very close to the city and transportation, all commanding higher cost for housing.  These areas also have a fair number of "lower cost" housing options as well.

How are you defining "better schools"? Every school in moco has a pool of high performing students.  At some schools, this pool is small thus you'll see this reflected in test scores and rankings. These numbers do not suggest that these school are bad, only that they have a lower percentage of high performing students.

Check and see how many kids get were accepted at Ivy Leagues at the "better schools" in moco over the last few years.  The numbers will surprise you.  This year, I know two students from what would be considered an "okay" moco school who were accepted to 2 Ivys.

Take off the blinders and don't believe the hype.  [/quote]
