[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I understand there are boundary redistricting in Montgomery County and we plan to move next year before my daughter starts kindergarten in 2021. Someone told me to wait due to the redistricting. When exactly will all this be done? Sorry I’m not from this country and I’m unfamiliar with all the public school jargons. I do know I’m in a bad school cluster and need to move. Thanks!![/quote]

If you are dead set on moving, you should do it before your child starts school. Moving after Kindergarten isn't the end of the world, but all things being equal, best to start school and make some friends that will be together for a few years.

Of course, you don't HAVE to move. You might be in a "bad" cluster by test scores, but a "good" cluster by actual student experience. It's worth talking to your neighbors about their own experiences, and the outcomes for their kids. If you read DCUM, you will see a lot of complaints from folks who thought they were getting a "good" school by test scores, but the actual experience (bad administration, overcrowding, poor facilities) of some schools makes it a worse place to be a kid and/or a parent.

The reality is very different than the real estate industry might have you believe.[/quote]
