[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We live near Blair and go to most home football games (no hs kid yet). They are all very well attended unless the weather is bad. The area doesn't have a small town Midwest feel, but there is definitely strong community. We love olney too but couldn't handle the commute. Can't comment on hs yet but our friends and neighbors who go to Blair really like it, and we know several non magnet kids who have gone to very strong colleges.[/quote]

I agree - the only reason we aren't in Olney is because of commute too. My husband travels most of the day in the DC area and didn't want a long travel home too.   But then again, I think that is why the home town feel is there.  There are many 1 working-parent homes with lots of stay at home parents or parents that work part time.  It has always been that way.  Many blue color families too. Sadly, that is wrong with today's world.  The need to work hard, make lots of money and live more upscale/urban has taken away the neighborhood and community feel.  Olney is a rare place in MC that it hasn't changed.  Lots of parent involvement, not a ton of high-pressure cooker parents, academics aren't "everything" as athletics, community outings, etc... rank up there really high too.  It isn't for everyone but the ones that want to move there do so to fit in, not to change it into the rest of MC.   [/quote]
