[quote=Anonymous]Charming as it is, turns out Annapolis is not a DC exurb teeming with good schools. City schools devote outsized resources on kids with poor English language proficiency and poverty-driven behavioral problems. Interesting to hear of a viable honors program operating like a parallel universe at Annapolis HS, but that still doesn't sound very appealing.

The highly regarded high schools are east of the Severn River, in Severna Park and Broadneck. But the punishing rush-hour river crossing really stretches the feasibility of a daily DC commute—it's like a tax to pay for the superior schools there.

West of the South River, you get Arundel and South River HS. These are good, but SR in particular draws from a more rural, blue-collar, and conservative base of families. South River is even less diverse than Broadneck and Severna Park, but Arundel has a decent non-white proportion.

Crofton has its fans, but it's not much easer to access from DC than Broadneck, given delays on Crain Hwy (Md. Rt. 3). You can find nice homes in Davidsonville and Gambrills, but otherwise hard to get excited about the dearth of neighborhoodliness there.
