[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]why don't I hear anything about Glen Haven ES? it's like a mile away from Flora Singer and Forest Knolls...[/quote]

Glen Haven has a significantly higher FARMs population, which generally translates to not being "as good."  In a condensed area like Silver Spring, a mile is a very long distance.  Forest Knolls and Flora Singer both have more single family homes in their assignment areas, while Glen Haven shares a very large apartment complex with Arcola, which is also a school that's very close by but usually not mentioned as a favorite.

High schools are important to consider, but there are five in the DCC, and you have no idea which your child will end up in, and a LOT can happen between now and the time they get there.  You have a home school assigned, but you can attempt to choose another based on different programs.  Also, I'm guessing PP is putting the high schools that my nephews attended (Einstein and Northwood--pretty sure Blair is the only "safe" school) in the "danger zone," yet my nephews received a top education, graduated within the past three years, and are successfully pursuing college degrees at solid universities.[/quote]
