[quote=Anonymous]In terms of schools, River Hill H.S. has the highest test scores not only in the county, but to large degree some of the highest in the country. Like a lot of schools of that ilk, though, it is reported to have more drug issues than other schools, probably related to the relative wealth of it's students. Centennial was considered the best previous to River Hill being built. My son went to Atholton...redistricted from River Hill when it got too crowded in the newer parts of Columbia..and had a wonderful, well-rounded experience there. After which he got into Harvard. Needless to say, even the school considered fourth or fifth best in Howard County is no slouch. Columbia is clearly a suburb, but a fairly special one, with a huge budget (if you live in Columbia you pay an annual fee) that provides loads of ammenities, which are available in addition to those the county offer. So the choices your children will have in terms of programs, teams, camps and experiences is seriously second to none; we were overwhelmed with opportunites for our son to do everything from sports to robotics and everything in between while he was growing up. It just don't think there are a lot of suburbs that could offer more. Walkability depends on your specific neighborhood and proximity to your village center, but it is looking as though the downtown area, soon to get a Whole Foods, will be quite walkable. And if you get to walk around Centennial Lake on a regular basis, it's a lovely thing. [/quote]
