[quote=Anonymous]Yes, if you live within a county's boundaries, your son will go to that county's school system.

You can find out more about Montgomery County's special programs here:  http://www.montgomeryschoolsmd.org/curriculum/specialprograms/ There are special programs for elementary, middle, and high schools. Admission to some of these special programs is by lottery.

I would not worry about the "best" schools. I don't think there even is such a thing. I aim for "good enough" schools.

And I also wouldn't worry about middle school and high school for a child who is just starting preschool, because

1. a lot can change between now and when he starts middle school/high school, and
2. he will change a lot between now and when he starts middle school/high school.

If I were you, I would start by looking for areas that work for you for commute, safety, charm, and convenience. (Not to mention price!) Then talk to real live actual people who live there and send their children to the local public schools. [/quote]
