[quote=Anonymous]Hello, everyone. My family will be moving to MD next summer, and we are trying to narrow down where we should look for a home. Our son will be in 5th grade and transferring from an accelerated/gifted program in his current school in Seattle that works 2 grade levels ahead. It's not possible to transfer into the HGC program in MCPS in 5th grade, so we are trying to identify elementary schools with strong math, in particular. Other subjects (e.g., language arts and social studies) will most likely be new for him because of curriculum differences but I'd hate for him to have to repeat math he's already learned.

I will be commuting to Johns Hopkins for the first year, then working at the new NCI campus in Rockville after that. We'd love to find a walkable, bikeable neighborhood with schools my son can walk to, with parks and sidewalks that are safe for kids, restaurants and shops to walk to. Bikeable to NCI would be fantastic. Close to the metro would be good, too, to open up job possibilities for my husband. We'd prefer to rent a small house with a fenced yard for our dog, with lots of kids in the area. We hate driving so minimizing that as much as possible would be great. Can anyone suggest neighborhoods that might meet our needs? We'll be visiting sometime this spring to look at schools, but some guidance would be helpful.

Thanks![/quote]
