[quote=Anonymous]I just don't think you can judge a school by test scores or some arbitrary ranking like great schools and I refuse to be so pessimistic that the school around the corner will never be good enough.

I think there are good things happening here and I just don't buy into the idea that going to one of the "best" schools in Montgomery County or wherever gives your child a leg up. Who decides what constitutes a "good" school anyway?

Anecdotally, I see plenty of kids who go on to do amazing things from Prince George's County. And the kids I know who have graduated from Bowie or ERHS seem to be cool non-entitled kids comfortable with diversity be it economic or cultural. I'd much rather my kids grow up here than in some ridiculously privileged environment. I think the life experiences my kids get on a daily basis far outweigh any negatives. Sometimes I feel like a PG evangelist b/c I truly don't understand why more people DON'T want to live here. Love the relative affordability, the inner beltway neighborhoods, the old houses, the cool left-wing history being lived in out today in Greenbelt.
