[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a UMD faculty member with kids at University Park Elementary School.  PP is right that St. Jerome's and Holy Redeemer are the closest K-8 parochial schools, and then Dematha and Seton are the high schools (though we also know kids at Bishop Macnamara and St. Anselm's Abbey).

I will say that I have UMD colleagues with kids (in public school) in Takoma Park, Bethesda, Ellicott City, Columbia, and Frederick.  I definitely think I have the best quality of life, and my kids are doing fine, but my colleagues ferociously defend their decisions to live further out and commute (while also complaining that we can't possibly have a meeting at 9am or 3:30pm because the traffic is soooo bad).[/quote]

I live in Frederick because my spouse works there, and I avoid in person meetings after 3:30 due to the commute (but am there and ready to go at 7 AM). Yes of course living where you work gives you a higher quality of life, but don't be judgy about people who don't, sometimes people can't find two jobs in the exact same DMV neighborhood or suburb, ESPECIALLY in academia where every search is national!
