[quote=Anonymous]I think you have to decide why you are interested in buying in Upper NW DC...is it for access to the metro, walkability, etc.?  If there are equally compelling reasons, I think you have to then research equivalent areas and their feeder schools.  In MoCO, I think it is really BCC where you can live near shops, restaurants, metro, etc.  I don't really know VA that well, so don't know what one would consider the equivalent.

BCC does not seem to get much love from the MoCo forums, but I don't really know why.  I believe it is a large school...maybe close to 3,000 students.

Even as a relatively satisfied JR parent (one graduating this year and attending a Top10 college next year), if I was moving de nova into the area and had MS or HS kids and schools were the most important criteria...I would probably pick something in the Whitman boundary.  I don't know how far East the Whitman boundary extends (possibly what you consider walkable to Bethesda?), but it is at least a fairly quick ride to Bethesda.

Back to JR...there is a new HS opening in Palisades in Fall 2023 (Macarthur HS) which should start alleviating some of the overcrowding at JR, though I think they are phasing in students over a couple of years.  I suppose that is also a potential HS option as well.[/quote]
