[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]What exactly is your main concern? The actual quality of the education at the school or property values?[/b] If it is property values, you'll need to pay the money and hope that nothing changes. If it is the quality of education, you have a lot more flexibility because many, many schools in MoCo offer a high-quality education--but you're going to have to set aside the "W" school mentality and start looking at the more detailed information on schools. Woodward--like most other schools in MoCo--will probably offer a fine education.[/quote]

That is my question too.[/quote]

Not the original poster, but I assume they are concerned about both the school quality AND the property value. They are parents and house buyers seeking out the MoCo schools forum.[/quote]

They are "new parents" concerned about the "school quality" (whatever that even means) of a high school that hasn't even opened yet.

OP, take the advice of the top PP:

1. if you're concerned about property values, you will have to pay the money and hope nothing changes
2. if you're concerned about school quality, you can live in many places in the county where you don't have to pay $1 million for a detached house, because a lot of schools in MCPS provide a good education, and the Bethesda = good/everywhere else = bad reasoning is simply false. In fact, I'm inclined to say that the single most important factor in making a school a good school is the principal, and nobody should buy property based on who is currently the principal of a given school.[/quote]

Yes, my DD is in a high FARMs hs and having an overall excellent experience.  We are also very happy with the principal. [/quote]
