[quote=Anonymous]The PP obviously doesn't live in Bethesda. OP, middle schools in this area are not neighborhood schools per se, so you might find a house that is close enough to walk or bike, but it's not the norm. My son's middle school is less than 5 miles away, but the traffic in this area is insane and bus schedules have to take into account the earlier and later runs for HS and ES. My son gets on the bus at 716am. There's actually another stop nearby that he could use and have 10-15 more minutes at home, but the buses are insanely overcrowded (apparently there are some buses where kids have to sit on the ground in the aisles) so he is highly motivated to get on at the earlier stop. He leaves the house at 710 to make sure he doesn't miss it. This is his first year there and by design he won't do any extracurricular stuff at school because the activity bus takes an hour or more to get back near our house in rush hour traffic.

Now we're zoned for BCC and by next year there will be a new middle school that will reduce distances / drive times for some. But with a 755am bell time to start I'm not assuming that will radically alter the AM schedule.  [/quote]
