[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Look, you can't decide you can only live in the ritiziest part of a ritzy area and then complain it's too cliquey and people drive expensive SUVs.

Bethesda Elementary will be just as SUV-driving as upper NW.

Maybe Cabin John, or Silver Spring.

+1 Several of the neighborhoods you are considering are the same, demographically and culturally, as the neighborhood you dislike. You can't flee one UMC community full of lobbyists and private sector lawyers for another UMC community full of lobbyists and private sector lawyers and think that the culture will be any different. It won't.

If you truly want something different, you need to look in a community with more socioeconomic diversity, even if racial diversity isn't what you want.

As for being warned off Takoma Park and Silver Spring schools, if your child gets into a 2E program they will be bussed to that program, which may well be in Silver Spring!

Decide what you actually want, and then talk to people with real-world experience in those schools. [/quote]

That's helpful, thanks.  We haven't been in the area long so don't know what these neighborhoods are like.[/quote]
