[quote=Anonymous]We are moving from VA to MD and considering Wootton, Quince Orchard and Rockville HS clusters.  Can you please tell me about your first hand experience at Rockville HS, Earle B. Wood MS, Lucy Barnsley and/or Flower Valley ES?  I can see what they look like on paper from the MC school reports -- the diversity, the average SAT scores, etc -- but I can't tell how much I should care for instance about percentatge of FARMS kids, etc or if gangs are a problem or how the diversity affects the school overall or what the positives and negatives of a high percentage of another group is.  For instance, how does a high percentatge of hispanic students in Rockville HS affect the overall school? And then does a high number of Asian students at Wootton have the same effect or is that better (are there for instance less gangs, more studious kids or more academic competition)?

FWIW, we are a double income white family and we are looking for a home for about $600K (or less!).  If I have to have less home (maybe 3 BR instead of 4) in a better school district and neighborhood I am okay with that - the school is more important.    [/quote]
