[quote=Anonymous][quote]Back to the very important Gaitherburg versus N. Potomac argument...why isn't North Potomac adjacent to Potomac? They don't touch. It would be like if South Dakota and Nebraska switched places.[/quote]

Not really. If you look at the map, North Potomac is a long vertical section running from River Rd up to Gaithersburg. Houses that zone into Wootton go for significantly more money than houses that zone into Quince Orchard.

Its a designated area etc but the different areas all have a very different feel. The areas at the far south do bump up to Potomac and have the multi-acre horse country type lots and are the more affluent areas that feed Wootton. The area in the middle next to Rockville and Gaithersburg is typical suburban houses on small lots ranging from newer to older developer builds and feed either Wootton or Quince Orchard.

I think both schools are fine but would go for the Wootton area for re-sale value. In a down market, Wootton still sells homes while QO doesn't. If your children are very academically advanced ( mine are not ) Wootton is a better option because there are more AP and advanced courses than QO. If you're in QO then your option would be magnet schools with a very long bus ride. [/quote]
