[quote=Anonymous]OP, you can find people who love their MCPS schools and others who detest MCPS. I tend to think the balance favors the fans, and house prices here would support that, but that doesn't mean it is automatically the best choice for you. I've asked on these boards about comparing MCPS with VA schools - say Fairfax or Arlington. The top rungs of each seem to be reasonably equivalent (and they all seem to have the same problems, overcrowded classrooms) but ultimately no assessment is totally objective and few of us if any have direct experience in both systems. In buying a house you need to weigh other factors as well - commute, family, neighborhood, etc. You can get a great school in either MD or VA (one caveat, TJ may be almost unique, but the Montgomery Blair magnet has a great rep too. In any case, don't buy solely for a magnet possibility since there is no guarantee your child will get in) [/quote]
