[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are the schools in Silver Spring really that bad? Is SS lower than middle class economically? Seems pretty middle to upper middle for the most part to me, and seems more "middle class" than CC/Bethesda to me.[/quote] No, the Silver Spring schools are many and varied, and there are many solidly middle class communities within Silver Spring, as well as both poorer and more affluent communities. Some people prefer schools for their kids that are less diverse, and have more uniform test scores. There's not a lot of evidence that those kind of schools are better for middle class or affluent white kids, but some people have more confidence in them. If that's what a parent wants, they can choose it, but they need to understand that it's a luxury, and that purchasing a house in that neighborhood means that they'll likely have to choose other luxuries to go without.[/quote]
