[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Moving to the area soon and had been thinking MoCo for the schools but this forum paints a bleak picture. Would any of you prefer a VA district to MCPS?[/quote]
Choose Virginia, that's a no brainer.

Look at all the businesses (Amazon...), they go to Virginia (Tysons, Dulles, Loundoun...), not Maryland. Your house will appreciate more in Virginia.

There are two parties in Virginia, and that is much better than a one-party state like Maryland.

Montgomery used to be good because of highly educated government employees, but now with remote work, many of those people choose to live farther away.[/quote]
