[quote=Anonymous]Test score wise the schools will be comparable.  You can see is there are special programs that are only offered at the school like there is one elementary school in Potomac that offers Chinese immersion only offer to in-boundary or the IB program BCC is only open to in-boundary.  Bethesda Elementary is known for inclusive classrooms and families with certain special needs have been happier there than at other of the "best" schools.  Now I don't know if DH will be able to get into the Chinese immersion (may be too old or not interested) or IB program at BCC or end up having ADD diagnosis etc, so you go in not knowing if you will ever use what is only available to kids in that school boundary.

Other drivers are commute to job, neighborhood you like, price/space/condition of home.  Potomac will generally be more space for the money but can be further out from some commuting spots (say if you end up needing 270 as part of a commute that also uses the Beltway). Certain parts of Bethesda and Chevy Chase can be walkable to stores etc versus Potomac but it isn't every neighborhood in Bethesda or Chevy Chase and you pay for that walkability in housing prices.[/quote]
