[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, Diamond ES is a great choice. I live in the neighborhood, and both my kids went to Diamond. The elementary school is good and ignore anything people from Bethesda say about it. The issue is that the elementary splits between middle and high schools. Lakelands and Ridgeview are both good schools. Everyone I talk to loves Quince Orchard HS and some people like Northwest HS but DD's experience(going to 10th) hasn't been great so we are still deciding what to do next year(private or COSA to QO). The school has great academics but the environment isn't great and the students are a little out of control. It pulls from a lot of rough areas in Germantown and DD hasn't really met other people outside of those who went to Lakelands MS. DS is at lakelands now(going to 8th) and almost all of his friends will go to Quince Orchard so we might try to get him into there. If you are set on Diamond ES, I would recommend moving to the section that goes to QO. Northwest is a good school but definitely not as good as QO and I wish I'd known that before we bought in this neighborhood. This area is great though with the nearby parks and hiking trails in Seneca Creek State Park(there is a path across the street from our neighborhood to the lake). We belong to the nearby Quince Orchard swim club which is really nice and has a great community and awesome swim team, and there is also the diamond farms pool which we used to belong to though it isn't as nice and is much smaller. There is an Aldi's right in the Quince Orchard Plaza shopping center but I usually go to the Giant in Kentlands(nicer and bigger). Kentlands is just down the road which has a ton of stores and restaurants. Overall it is a great area and I highly recommend it. [/quote]

How are the students in NW out of control and rougher than QO?[/quote]

Not PP but go to a football game and look at the difference in the student sections. There are also gangs there. [/quote]

That is dumb the student sections look kinda the same. But search up Cinnamon Woods Germantown MD. That is a large portion of what goes to Northwest.[/quote]
