[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thunder Hill ES is a fantastic school in a great neighborhood full of your families with an arts integration program. When we were looking, I had narrowed it down to either Thunder Hill or Clemens Crossing, and I liked the location and prices of homes in Thunder Hill more.[/quote]

But doesn't Thunder Hill feed into Oakland Mills Middle and High Schools? What's the buzz there?[/quote]

You want to avoid Oakland Mills and Long Reach HS. I would look into schools that feed into River Hill and Centennial. Next choices would be [b]Mt Hebron[/b] and Howard.[/quote]

Concur on OM and LR - Re: [b]Mt. Hebron, I think its way too far north to be a practical suggestion.[/b][/quote]

Exactly!

Mt. Hebron  borders West Baltimore County.  If the OP is working in Baltimore, then Ellicott City will be fine.  However, I will rule out Centennial, Howard, Mt Hebron, and the schools in the western and northern parts of Howard County because they're just too far to commute to DC.   Whomever suggested  Mt. Hebron is out of their minds.    Mt. Hebron High School is north of I-70.  A  commute to DC from I-70 will be Hellish.

OP, I will advise you to look at the current information on the school's profiles and websites as well.  You will be able to see state test scores, PTA pages, grade level pages, and detail information that you will not be able to get from this forum.  The Howard County School website http://www.hcpss.org  and each elementary school website has the information that you're looking for. If you need any additional help, then contact the school's counselors or PTA (through e-mail and telephone).  Tell them that you're a new parent of the county and you will like to have some information about the school or to schedule a tour.
