[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your commute would ruin your life.  Not being mean, just stating a fact.  If you're committed though look at Highland or Clarksville.[/quote]

I'd think really hard about your commute.  Not something to be taken lightly, esp if you have kids.  It really eats away at your day and your spirit![/quote]

Highland or Clarksville ends up a bumper to bumper mess on 32 in the mornings trying to get out to 29 or 95.

Excuse me? River Hill resident here, and my neighborhood is EXTREMELY diverse. Our neighbors come from all over the world and we get along beautifully. Certainly, if you move to the rural far western county, you are going to come across some good-ole-boy country folk. However, Columbia and Clarksville enjoy a wonderful group of laid-back first and second generation neighbors. The main difference between Howard County and Montgomery County is that people are far less obsessed with wealth and status.[/quote]

It's one of the whitest high schools in the county and more importantly, one of the least diverse socioeconomicly.[/quote]
Most River Hill kids go to Atholton. [/quote]

It depends on what side of the River Hill Community you reside in.    The River Hill section south of  32 near Pointer's Run Elementary and Clarksville Middle Schools attend Atholton High School.  The section of River Hill that is near Clarksville Elementary and north of 32 attend River Hill High School.  The River Hill Community has homes both south and north of 32.  It feeds into two high schools.

River Hill is not one of the whitest schools in Howard County.  Take a look at the school's profile on the county's website. http://www.hcpss.org    For the 2013-2014 school year River Hill was 56.5% White, 24.8% Asian, 8% Hispanic, 6.5% African American/Black, and 3.8% Two or more races (Mixed raced).  Also, there are  many multicultural, interracial, and international families in Howard County myself included.
