[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]14:56 and 13:50 here. I really don't think people are talking about the schools in the highest SES portions of the county when we talk about the problems with schools.

Many of the more affordable areas of the county are zoned for schools that are not high performers. I can afford to move to the nicer areas of PG county now, but I couldn't when I bought my house. The biggest problem for me now is that Bowie would increase my commute by an hour.

P.S. Tulip Grove's aftercare program is about $300 per month, this is almost twice the cost of aftercare at Eaton Elementary in DC. I couldn't find aftercare expenses on the site, and was told to call back after getting an estimate on the phone. [/quote]

Yes, the commuting issue is a tricky one all around, especially if you and your spouse work in completely different locations (which was the situation I had and why neither MOCO or NOVA, as many like to suggest, would have worked).

As for what people are talking about, well, I think it varies.  I was on a thread last week in which a woman declared there was "no way" she'd send her children to Bowie High School.  Frankly, I got the impression she didn't really know much about the school or the programs offered.  My impression was that the problem for her was that the large AA population.  And I find that sort of troublesome.
