[quote=Anonymous] What you want to avoid at all costs is a drop in your real estate investment if you buy into a neighborhood zoned to a reputable school district, and it turns out they are redistricted to a lesser one. This is because for most families, a house is the biggest investment they make. You can ignore this advice if you are one of the lucky few for which this does not apply. You can stay where you are or you can rent in a nicer neighborhood. You can also buy and take a risk. MCPS will never bus kids too far because of the congested traffic in this area. It's just not physically possible, they don't have enough buses, which are expensive. So if you're smack bang in the middle of a cluster of great schools, even if you're redistricted, your kid will end up in a good school anyway. Shoot for the middle. Only downside: this is where the houses are most expensive, of course :-) Think Bethesda/Chevy Chase. [/quote]
