[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are several things that I am looking at and trying to compare with DC Public Schools, DC Charters, and MoCo Schools:

Curriculum
Beforecare and Aftercare Programs and Cost
FARMS rate
Greenspace
Extracurricular/Enrichment Activities
Parent Involvement
Monthly Parent Communication
Discipline Methods
Test Scores

Well, I believe the FARMS rate is listed on the Great Schools page for each school, as are the score averages.

Some schools have their own website, and they list what extracurricular/enrichment activities are available.   School websites will also list if a school has before and after care options, but often they don't list the cost.

Parent involvement and discipline methods are two things I don't think you're going to find much info on, but that goes for any school system, including MOCO and Howard County.  All school and county websites will have some generic, positive thing on there, but I don't think you'll really find any specific answers.

Greenspace.  I don't know about the rest of PG County, but the schools in Bowie have plenty of greenspace as far as I can tell.  In general, Bowie has a lot of parks and athletic fields and biking trails.

I would add that I think that just because the before and after care offered at a particular school is high doesn't mean that there aren't other options.  There are actually some local daycares that provide before and after care for neighborhood schools.  You might want to do a little research on daycare.

Best of luck.[/quote]
