[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. EDIT: we are not looking at Tacoma Washington, Tacoma DC, we are looking at Takoma Park Maryland. I apologize for my phone's autocorrect, I would have thought that was obvious given the forum I am posting in.

Thank you to everyone who had helpful replies.

To be more specific, we are currently in Anne Arundel County and have been less than impressed with the schools in general, especially since COVID.

I know MCPS has it's issues as well, but we were hoping to move to the DCC so that we could be closer to family, and be in an overall better school district. Also we would like to be closer to DC and away from the systemic racism and fairly extreme segregation we have experienced here (we moved here from NOVA 4 years ago, which we found pretty diverse).

My husband has his eyes set on Takoma Park (MD), because he has read great things about Montgomery Blair HS and the feeder middle schools, and also because he is a city boy and wants to be as close to DC as possible.

My oldest, who will be in middle school by the time we move, is a very bright girl who excels at math and STEM in general. The other two kids will be in probably kindergarten and third grade when we move.

The whole DCC school system in general is extremely confusing, and I did not even realize that Tacoma Park had two different schools for just elementary. [b]Are there other schools in the Tacoma Park area that feed into Blair?[/b] And what are the opinions on the middle schools that feed into Blair? It's just so much to process compared to Anne Arundel county.

We just want the best for our kids, my husband and I are both in math/scientific/IT fields, and we feel our kids will probably excel at the same type of areas, but would also appreciate language immersion or any other great programs that are available.

Side note, Bethesda and similar majority Caucasian school districts are way out of our price range so we are focusing on DCC, so opinions on the schools that Great Schools say are good are not really relevant to us.[/quote]

These are your options to feed into Blair based on home address:

Takoma Park ES...Piney Branch ES...Takoma Park MS

East Silver Spring ES...Takoma Park MS

Rolling Terrace ES...Silver Spring International MS

Montgomery Knolls ES...Pine Crest ES...Eastern MS

New Hampshire Estates ES...Oak View ES...Eastern MS

And there's a little bit of Sligo Creek ES...Silver Spring International MS
