[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oh, great, we haven't had a Bethesda-bashing in a long time. The last wealthy neighborhood to get tweaked last week was only Chevy Chase!

OP, you should have done your due diligence. We moved to Bethesda 10 years ago for the public schools, and picked an area walkable to downtown where practically everyone sent their kids to Bethesda Elementary, Westland and BCC. During the pandemic, half of those families switched to private (mostly Sidwell, St Albans, Landon). This means now we're 50/50 in our neighborhood, which is perfectly fine.

hahaha. No, Sidwell and St. Albans didn't absorb half the families in downtownish Bethesda during an 18 month pandemic window -- unless the  applications were submitted at a regular intake year (K, 4, 9 etc.).  Those 2 schools don't accept off-year "switchers" or mid-year applications.

I bring this up because OP needs to understand that all your neighbors were [u]always[/u] going to go private, anyway, at the right intake year (4, 6, 9) and so OP and similar should not expect to have an intact school cohort K-12 when moving to certain parts of Bethesda and Chevy Chase. [/quote]
