[quote=Anonymous]Mixed couple with a preschool aged kid in Bowie. He will be in K next fall.

I love it. My DH does not because of the school issues. Our elementary and middle schools are ranked well, the concern is HS but we will get to that in 10 years  :lol: . I feel really lucky because we both WAH and his elementary school next year is less than 0.5 mile away and his middle school will be 1.0 mile away. We can walk or bike to both on sidewalks. Easily visit DC, Annapolis, and Baltimore. PG County has great parks and a lot of green areas.

So many new families are moving into Bowie. On our street alone, 2 new families with kids have moved in and 1 house is for sale in the past year. There are at least 4 elderly homeowners who will likely sell in the next 5-7 years and these homes are built for families and are some of the only SFH I see for less than 450-500k. With all of the new families I think private school will not be any option for most due to the sheer number of kids so public schools may get more parental investment compared to years past. Bowie had a lot of older residents in the past 10-20 years who don't really care about schools because their kids are grown but new families will care.

As a parent with a mixed child, he will have teachers and administrators that look like him, which is beneficial. I did not grow up in this area but moved here for last 2 years of HS so I cant compare to surrounding areas but I did not have a non-white subject teacher at all, including while enrolled in HoCo.
