Long time real estate person here.  Expanding the presence of a strong school has never been a net negative for a neighborhood.  Never.  Just ask the property owners in Edgemoor, Bethesda.  It might be a nuisance in the short term, but the rewards are tangible on the back end.[/quote]

I can understand the presence of a good public school raising property values, but don't see how the general population benefits with a private school.  Is there a private school near Edgemoor in Bethesda?[/quote]
Wealthy educated people buying houses on the neighbourhood -you house value goes up. Plus hedonic pricing (look it up in Google please). Put it simply: would you prefer to have a landfield or a prision just near your house or a top private school?[/quote]
