[quote=Anonymous]I live in one of the school pyramids described here. My biggest concern is middle school, since there is a movement in MCPS away from ability grouping. The fact is that there is a much wider gap in abilities in DCC middle schools than in Bethesda middle schools, which can make it hard for teachers to meet all students' needs and still challenge high achieving students. That said, we really want to make it work- we love Silver Spring and value the diversity and don't want to (nor could we afford) to live elsewhere. We may move in a few years for house reasons and will reevaluate the schools at that point. I think there are some "risks" in buying a forever house here, since school boundaries can always change and school quality can change over time, particularly when there are changes in school leadership.
