[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am not OP but one of the other posters looking for advice. Thank you Sherwood parents for the helpful info! Is there anyone from Damascus here who can weigh in? I know personally we’d be looking at Baker as a middle school so not concerned with split feeder. [/quote]

Just go a little further up 27 into Mt Airy, or even better, a few miles west into the Kemptown/Monrovia area.

I actually like Damascus, but those areas are like the best of Damascus without all the trashiness you sometimes get in Damascus[/quote]

What sort of trashiness do you see? Could you elaborate? I do notice the houses around and north of the town center seem a little trailer-park-y. [/quote]

Yeah, there is a little bit of a trailer park vibe to certain parts.  And if you go to one of their home football games, its a little redneck + ghetto going on behind the bleachers, etc.

You know what I mean.  Bad tattoos.  People dipping and spitting into empty Mountain Dew bottle.  Loud & obnoxious Moms at sporting events.  Crap like that.

I 100% will own being a snob here so I probably deserve to be flamed for this post, and to be fair, that element exists in Mt Airy too, but not as much.  Or its just toned down a bit in Mt. Airy.

But 5-10 minutes west, and you have that some country feel, but the schools (most feed into Linganore, I believe in that area) are better and you don't get that 'Joe Dirt' or 'Trailer Park Boys' vibe[/quote]
