[quote=Anonymous]Do you prefer MD or VA? Suburban cul-de-sac living, urban/walkable living, some combination? Need lots of space in the home or happy with smaller spaces? Prefer mom-and-pops or chain stores? What kind of lifestyle do you have/want? IMO, those and others are the primary things to think about when looking. It's hard to give suggestions without that kind of information. Yes, schools are important. By and large the schools in this area are better than most schools in the country and your kid will do just fine in any one of them regardless of whether it is ranked by whatever means at the top or the bottom of the area's schools. If you find a community that has the right combination of things for your family, chances are that the school will be a decent match. If you find several that might work, that's when you compare schools and think about the trade offs. Your lives will be about more than just school -- being happy in your home and community matters.

FWIW, I agree with this article when it comes to choosing schools: http://www.designmom.com/2015/07/why-we-dont-stress-out-about-choosing-a-school/#more-40460[/quote]
