[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For schools, Brookland (DC) wins in education for free PK and a *chance* for desirable test-in/lottery-in public schools. Hyattsville wins for higher ed because of access to MD in-state tuition.

Funny, I got free pre-K3 and 4 and it wasn’t income based and I’m in PG. 
pgcps operates 3 Montessori schools that you can lottery in at age 3.
They have several language immersion and many test in TAG/performing arts programs.
And almost everyone I know is willing to send their child to the local elem. it’s only at middle and high school where it gets dicey. Not saying that’s GREAT, but people act like “the schools” are the reason DC is more stable than PG when ...it’s obviously not.[/quote]

Okay, but DC has a huge, free preschool system.  And, more importantly, they tell people about it.  Does PG?  I don't think so?  But maybe they do?  Who knows really?

When I was considering buying in PG county, I tried to research the schools.  Totally opaque on the web at least.  The schools may not be the major reason for big differences between DC and PG real estate.  But then again, the lack of decent web presence of PG schools options combined with longer commutes in PG may indeed be.[/quote]
