[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A lot of friends send their kids to MRE (we're in Hyattsville so not us). It's an up and coming school in an up and coming area. And while you can't count on lottery for expanded options, there are many opportunities through the lottery and specialty programs. Everyone around here seems to make it work. Our kids and community are smart, vibrant and happy.[/quote]

I answered upthread- do NOT make your plans based on whether a school, or an area, is up-and-coming.  It may be, but things may not move fast enough to benefit your children.  When you move somewhere you need to be accepting of what it is NOW, not some imaginary progress you have not seen yet.  And DO NOT make any assumptions about specialty schools or programs.  Those are quite literally winning a lottery.  Make your plans with private school in mind in PG.  Don't hope or bet on an up and coming area or specialty schools.  I made this mistake.  Don't make it too.[/quote]

My point in calling it "up and coming" wasn't "it will get better." My point was "it's better than you may have heard."
There's a lot of vibrancy in our community right now. Lots of energy![/quote]

I don't know what you mean by "vibrancy" and "energy."  I think there are a lot of positive things happening in PG county right now.  I live here, and I have never had any real negative experiences in terms of crime or my community.  However, this is a separate issue from the schools.  If a school is weak, that's not good.  It's not magically going to become better right before your children enroll.  You can move here, but you have to keep that in mind. [/quote]
