[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We reallly wanted to move to Silver Spring because it would been a short commute for me and houses are generally cheaper than other parts of Montgomery County. After looking around, talking to various people at work, plus our own research, we came to the conclusion that there are good elementary schools in Silver Spring. The problem is middle and high schools. Would love to hear about good middle or high schools because that would be the ideal location for us.[/quote]

Middle and high schools...there are no good options...Here are your choices:

1. Buy in Silver Spring in an area with a good elementary and send your child to a parochial school for the rest of the time.
2. Be ready to do some really good due diligence on immersion/magnet options...somewhat of a calculated risk but given funding situations everywhere, I would be hesitant to count these as strong options moving forward.
3. Spend more, sacrifice a bit of commute and look in S. Kensington in the WJ cluster or in Rosemary Hills in the BCC cluster.
4. Sacrifice a lot of commute and buy in Potomac.
5. Give up the idea of buying and rent in Bethesda.
