[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am probably your neighbor. We have loved Oakland Terrace and are closer to middle school than you. The simple answer is no -- all the big non-Catholic private schools are in Bethesda or Potomac or DC. I have seen many parents stay in this area and send their kids to Newport, a few parents move to Bethesda or Town of Kensington, but I don't think I can remember anyone who has sent their kids to Bullis, Sidwell, Holton, Landon, etc., the big private middle and high schools in the area. I know one who went to Sandy Spring Friends. I have thought a lot about why, and I think this is just a solidly middle class area that almost without exception can't afford paying $30k a year per child to those schools. That said, I absolutely love this area and the plan for now is to try Newport. There is literally no telling how things will change in 10 years.[/quote]

Thanks.  We're excited about OTES and cautiously optimistic about NM and E.  I'd just like to keep my options open just in case.  My coworker has middle school-aged children and suggested that, right now, NM is not very challenging at an academic level.  I know, I'm probably thinking about this way too much, but education is important to me and I do not foresee us moving, so I want to see what our other options are.  [/quote]
